Research Abstract	The purpose of this research is to generate nano-particle which has CNT and silica particles using cavitation discharge treatment. In this research, zeta potentials of CNT and silica particle were measured, and photos of particles were taken by electron microscope. From the experimental results, it was found that the zeta potential was changed by the treatment, and that the CNT and silica particle were distributed in the medium by the treatment.
