## Abstract Composites were prepared by solution blending poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the crystalline structure of PVDF was changed by the addition of MWNTs
## Abstract PVA/SWNT dispersions yield __aloe plant__‐like crystals, where the __leaves__ are single crystals templated by PVA coated SWNT. Longer growth times (≈18 months) lead to __hexagonal rod__‐like crystals. HR‐TEM images show evidence that PVA molecules are aligned parallel to the SWNT axis.
