高表面能的奈米碳管會發生團聚現象，必須對其進行改質。一般酸洗過程相當普遍，但並不符合工業安全的需求。在此研究中，我們利用高分子與超音波震盪的搭配，使PVP吸附於碳管表面。以PVP改質的碳管經過敏化活化作為表面修飾基板，利用無電鍍技術析鍍出鎳合金；另一方面則是利用低濃度HCl與超音波振盪的搭配，酸處理後的碳管經過活化還原作為基板，利用無電鍍技術析鍍出鎳合金。我們也改變操作條件，如劑量、時間、溫度、pH等，以SEM與TEM觀察析鍍合金的情形，並利用EDX分析其元素組成。

Carbon nanotubes could agglomerate because of their high surface energy. Hence, it is pivotal to decorate them to avoid it. An acid pretreatment process with high concentration of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to resolve this problem was commonly adopted in industry. However, such a process is not safe and needs to be improved. We use Polymers, such as PVP, and ultrasonic treatment were employed to modify surfaces of carbon nanotubes. These carbon nanotubes were subsequently used to be substrate after sensitization and activation process. Afterwards electroless plating method was used to deposit nickel alloys on their surface. Alternatively, lower concentration HCl and ultrasonic both were applied to treat carbon nanotubes. After activation, nickel alloys were deposited on these carbon nanotubes by electroless plating method. Process parameters such as concentration, reaction time, temperature and pH value were studied to find the optimal condition. SEM, TEM and EDX were adopted to observe its morphology and surface compositions.
