It was found that, after prolonged operation of HDPE pipes compared to the initial normative values, the most significantly affected parameters are the tensile elongation and the induction period of oxidation. Moreover, the changes in tensile elongation and IPO parameters have a similar nature in terms of the loss of properties, indicating a correlation between them.

Diagnostics and characterization of the synthesized MWCNTs were carried out by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. According to SEM data, it follows that the morphology of the synthesized MWCNTs has the form of filamentous formations intertwined in bundles with a diameter of individual MWCNTs from 40 to 60 nm and a length up to several microns. At the same time, the surface of most of the MWCNTs is covered with a continuous layer of iron (Fe). The EDX method also confirmed the Fe and oxygen content on the surface of the MWCNTs. The XRD method identified the presence of Fe in combination with carbon in the form of Fe<sub>3</sub>C iron carbide and pure Fe iron at 44.7°. The compound Fe<sub>3</sub>C is also referred to the active phase of Fe allowing the synthesis of MWCNTs. By increasing the concentration of MWCNTs in the elastomer, an increase in thermal conductivity with percolation transition was achieved at a concentration of 8% MWCNTs. The maximum thermal conductivity of the nanomodified elastomer was 0.48 W/(m °C), which corresponded to the mass concentration of MWCNTs equal to 8 wt %.
