The formation of a nanohybrid shish-kebab (NHSK) superstructure, in which fibrillous carbon nanotubes (CNTs) act as shish while polymer lamellae act as kebab, is a novel way to bond the polymer and CNTs together and was first observed in the solution crystallization of polyethylene in the presence of CNTs. In this work, a direct formation of nanohybrid shish-kebab in the injection molded bar of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite, has been achieved, via a so-called dynamic packing injection molding technology (DPIM), in which oscillatory shear field was imposed on the gradually cooled melt during the packing solidification stage. Interestingly, whatever the long axis of CNTs is perpendicular to or parallel to the shear flow direction, the lamellae of PE is always perpendicular to long axis of CNTs. The three-step mechanism, including (1) the disentanglement and orientation of both PE and CNTs, (2) PE folded-chain lamellae directly nucleated on CNTs surface and/...
