✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A simple method to fabricate polymer nanocomposites with single‐walled carbon nanotubes is reported, in which the nanotubes were reacted with poly(L‐lysine) by using high‐speed vibration milling. The nanocomposites obtained were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), UV–Vis spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric methods. The morphology as well as the dispersion of the carbon nanotubes were determined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

## Abstract Well‐defined six‐armed star poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA) with a triphenylene core has been prepared by ring‐opening polymerization of L‐lactide. As a result of strong __π__–__π__ interactions between the triphenylene core and the multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), the polymer was con
