Taguchi Optimization technique was ap- plied to find out the best operating conditions to get maximum yield of carbon nano material (CNM). For Taguchi op- timization, experimental set up was done in two different temperature ranges i.e. 550?C - 750?C and 850?C - 1050?C. CNMs synthesized were characterized by SEM, TEM, Micro Raman and XRD analysis. HDPE was found to yield maximum CNM. Its pyrolysis at 750?C under hydrogen atmosphere for 2h gave carbon nano beads and some carbon nano tubes. Whereas under same conditions at 1050?C more multi wall carbon nano tubes (MWCNT) were produced, with some carbon nano beads. XRD data confirmed the grap
