Polyethylene–multiwalled carbon nanotube shish-kebab (PE/MWCNT SK) structures with a large aspect ratio were synthesized by solvothermal growth followed by recrystallization. The effects of different crystallization temperatures (95, 105, and 115 °C) on the polymer were investigated, and the diamete...
