Dispersion of carbon nanotubes in poly(lactic acid)

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) grow as entangled bundles that are difficult to disperse in polymer matrices, or even in solvents. However, their dispersion level in the polymer matrix strongly affects the final nanocomposite properties1. Previous studies have shown that filler dispersion can be assisted by...
