Preparation and characterization of novel polyethylene/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites with core–shell structure

Preparation of novel polyethylene/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposites with core–shell structure was presented. The method involved null in situ null ethylene polymerization in which nanotube surface was treated with Grignard Agent, followed by reacting with active transition metal compound, TiCl 4 . The multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) supported catalysts polymerize ethylene to form polymer nanocomposite. MWCNTs were homogeneously...
