Abstract Front Cover: Polymer carbon nanotube nanocomposites are prepared by melt‐mixing a poly(oxymethylene)/poly(l‐lactic acid) (POM/PLLA) blend and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Investigation of the crystallization behaviour shows that the MWCNTs first selectively nucleate POM to yield novel "mace‐like" hybrid structure crystals, which then serve as efficient polymeric nucleating agents of PLLA. The crystallization rate and crystallinity are remarkably enhanced.
