Influence of Rubber Content on Mechanical, Thermal, and Morphological Behavior of Natural Rubber Toughened Poly(Lactic Acid)-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites

The effects of natural rubber (NR) on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites prepared by melt blending were investigated. A PLA/NR blend and PLA/CNT nanocomposites were also produced for comparison....
