A simple approach to decorate multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)⁻reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hybrid nanoparticles with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods is developed to improve the electrical and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/MWCNT⁻RGO composites. The ZnO nanorods act as "joint" in three-dimensional (3D) MWCNT⁻RGO networks and the hybrid particles strongly interact with PVC chains via p-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions, which we confirmed by scanning el ...[more]
