TI  - Size effect of hybrid carbon nanofillers on the synergetic enhancement of the 
      properties of HDPE-based nanocomposites.

AB  - High-density polyethylene (HDPE)-based hybrid nanocomposites containing graphene 
      nanoplatelets (GnPs) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated 
      using melt mixing followed by compression molding. The influences of size and 
      weight ratio of both carbon-based nanofillers on the electrical, thermal, and 
      mechanical properties of hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated. This study proves 
      that the size and weight ratio of carbon-based nanofillers play a critical role 
      in determining these properties. The optimum size and weight ratio of GnPs and 
      MWCNTs are determined at the maximum achieved enhancement for each property. The 
      HDPE-based nanocomposites containing GnPs with larger surface area and MWCNTs 
      with higher aspect ratio display the highest electrical conductivity at 
      GnPs/MWCNTs weight ratio of 2/3. The combination of GnPs with larger surface area 
      and MWCNTs with lower aspect ratio provides the maximum Young's modulus 
      enhancement of hybrid nanocomposites at 1/4 weight ratio of GnPs and MWCNTs. The 
      nanocomposite containing GnPs with the largest lateral size and MWCNTs with a 
      higher aspect ratio at a 3/2 weight ratio exhibits the highest thermal 
      conductivity. Also, at around the percolation threshold of GnPs, the 
      incorporation of MWCNTs with larger aspect ratio into the HDPE-based 
      nanocomposites containing GnPs with the largest lateral size shows a distinct 
      synergic effect on the thermal conductivity and Young's modulus, while an 
      additive effect on the electrical conductivity and thermal stability.
