Effects of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTS) on the mechanical and thermal properties of plasticized polylactic acid Nanocomposites

A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/plasticized polylactic acid (PLA) composite was prepared using a two-roll mill set at 170C and 50 rev/min. The material was characterized using dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Characterization works include obtaining mechanical properties, such as tensil...
