journal contribution

In this study, surface modification of CNT was performed through developing a new morphology containing carbon nano particles periodically patterned on CNT; entitled cheetah skin CNT. Compared to pristine CNT, the use of cheetah skin-CNT resulted in an enhanced interfacial bonding with PE. Addition of only 2% CNT into PE matrix led to 35% and 51% increase in elastic modulus of composite containing pristine and cheetah skin CNT, respectively.
