Effects of multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the degradation behavior of plasticized PLA nanocomposites

Polymer blend nanocomposites based on polylactic acid (PLA) were prepared via simple melt blending and investigated for its biodegradation behavior. The CNTs were surface-modified using acid treatment, and characterizations of composites were done using FTIR. FTIR spectra confirmed the surface modif...
