The chemical functionalization of raw multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigatedby acidic mixture. Carboxylic groups were used at first as reaction precursors in the attachment ofDesmopressin peptide to functionalized MWCNTs. Surface functionalization of MWCNTs via chemicalmodification of carboxyl groups by Desmopressin peptide, using of reagents dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) and oxalyl chloride were performed. Successfully covalently attachment of Desmopressin peptide tofunctionalized MWCNTs were confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Ramanscattering, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM).
