journal contribution

Formation of carbon nanoparticle (CNP) on carbon nanotubes has been investigated in this research for the development of nanohybrid composites. Two distinct morphology of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) coated on CNT is observed. A novel approach to design a cheetah skin structure comprising of carbon-nano-patterning of carbon nanotubes is introduced. The cheetah skin structured CNT/CNP nanohybrid composite could lead to the development of the high-performance carbon based materials for high-tech applications in biotechnology, nano electronics and energy storage devices.
