In this study, the chemical functionalization of carboxylated  multi-walled carbon nano tubes (MWNT-COOH) by Amino uracil derivative via microwave- assisted amidation  method have been investigated.The functionalized MWNTs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The major advantage of this procedure is reducing the reaction time to the order of minutes and the amidation was completed in one step as compared to two in the conventional approach. The acid chloride formation step was eliminated here.
