Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Carboxylated Carbon Nanotubes/Poly(L-lactic acid) Composite
View through CrossRef
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/MWNTs composites were prepared by mixing solubilized PLLA with solutions of MWNTs treated by four kind of acids. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra revealed that carboxyl groups were grafted to the surface of MWNTs. The water solubility showed that the MWNTs treated by HNO
