Abstract
One-dimensional carbon nano-materials, in particular carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs), are of scientific and technological interest due to their satisfactory properties and ability to serve as templates for directed assembly. In this work, linear high density polyethylene (PE) was periodically decorated on CNTs and CNFs using a supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2)antisolvent-induced polymer epitaxy (SAIPE) method, leading to nano-hybrid shish-kebab (NHSK) structures. The formation mechanism of different morphologies of PE lamellae on CNTs and CNFs has been discussed. Palladium nanoparticles were synthesized and immobilized on the PE/CNF NHSK structure with the assistance of scCO2. The obtained hierarchical nano-hybrid architecture may find applications in microfabrication and other related fields.
