## Abstract MWNTs are modified to possess hydroxy groups and are used as coinitiators to polymerize Lβlactide by the surfaceβinitiated ringβopening polymerization. FTβIR and TEM observations reveal that the PLLA is covalently attached to the MWNTs (MWNTβ__g__βPLLA), and the weight gain as a result
## Abstract Poly(Lβlactide)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PLLA/MWCNTs) nanocomposite recently attracts much attention because of its excellent comprehensive properties including improved thermostability, tensile strength, and conductivity. However, the nanocomposite exhibits similar brittleness com
