Thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties of biodegradable polybutylene succinate/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites

Biodegradable poly(butylene succinate)/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing process and the influence of carbon nanotubes on the properties of the nanocomposites was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that crystallization temperature (Tc) increase with inc...
