| Abstract: | An easy one pot method is demonstrated for the controlled periodical surface coating of polyethylene over multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (MWCNT) by insitu polymerization of ethylene using highly active metallocene catalysts (Cp2ZrCl2 and Cp2TiCl2) in combination with methylalumoxane. The crystallinity of the nanocomposite was increased and its morphology could be tuned
from “sausage” like to “shish-kebab” in the presence of CNT depending on the experimental condition and choice of metal atom. |
