Polymer nanocomposites have been an area of active research for the past 20 years. In semicrystalline polymer−carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites, CNTs are often viewed as nucleation agents; they can also form network structures that physically confine polymer crystal growth. Profound morphologies have been observed, including the unique nanohybrid shish kebabs shown in the cover image. This Perspective presents the recent progresses on the structure, morphology, and related applications of semicrystalline polymer−CNT nanocomposites
