Mechanical Reinforcement of Polyethylene Using Polyethylene-Grafted Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes to a polymer generally improves the stiffness and strength of the polymer, but the ductility and toughness of the polymer are compromised in most cases. Here we report the mechanical reinforcement of polyethylene (PE) using polyethylene‐grafted multiwalled carbo...
