Covalently cross-linked carbon structures are rather promising materials for incorporation into various polymer matrices, as they offer new possibilities for tailoring the properties of the resulting material. Heterosubstitution of some carbon atoms in their structures allows for changes in two types of properties: acid-base surface potential and the number of electrons in the system. The introduction of B, N, P, S into carbon nanostructures has been described previously. The ability to be covalently cross-linked, even for different forms of carbon, demonstrates a good possibility for new material design. The present work deals with the synthesis of heterosubstituted derivatives of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and few-layer graphene nanoflakes (GNF), their surface functionalization and covalent cross-linking for further utilization in antifouling paints. In this study, oxidized N- and P-doped carbon nanomaterials (CNM) were also covalently cross-linked to create new advanced materials.
