✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We report the formation of poly(propylene) spherical and ellipsoidal particles templated by carbon nanotubes via solution crystallization. With an increase in nanotube loading, the particle shape changes from sphere to ellipsoid. In the intermediate concentration range, both spherical and ellipsoidal shapes coexist. The particle size decreases with an increase in nanotube loading.

## Abstract **Summary:** Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been grown on MCM‐41 supported Fe nanoparticles and the as‐prepared (no further purification) CNT‐silica hybrid was directly incorporated into nylon‐6 (PA6) by simple melt‐compounding. The urchin‐shaped CNT‐silica hybrid filler was observed to b
