dc.description.abstract	In this work, SiO2, MWCNTs, MWCNTs:SiO2, MWCNTs-TiO2, and MWCNTs:TiO2:SiO2 nanomaterials were synthesized and characterized by the use of different techniques to ascertain novelty of the nanomaterials and also to establish their suitability for several electrical, electronic and magnetic based device applications. The results, in general, indicate that the nanocomposites were well prepared and the properties of MWCNTs can be tuned by introducing SiO2, TiO2, and a composite of SiO2 and TiO2 in its matrix. This tunability of properties leading to the suitability of the material for various applications has been explained in this work	en
