Biocompatible reinforcement of poly(Lactic acid) with graphene nanoplatelets

A recently made available form of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP-C) is investigated for the first time as reinforcement filler for PLA. GNP-C, with thickness of about 2 nm and length 1-2 m, was incorporated at different loadings (0.1-0.5 wt%) in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by melt blending. The effect of v...
