Effect of graphene nanoplatelets as nanofiller in plasticized poly(lactic acid) nanocomposites: thermal properties and mechanical properties

Plasticized PLA-based nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending of the matrix with 5 mass% of epoxidized palm oils (EPO) and different amount of graphene nanoplatelets (xGnP). Plasticized PLA (p-PLA) reinforced with 0.3 mass% xGnP resulted in an increase of up to 26.5 and 60.6 % in the tensile s...
