Structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of low-loaded (0−1.5 wt%), untreated, and treated (with heat and nitric acid) multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites have been studied. Among all synthesized composites, acid-treated 1.0 wt% MWCNTs rein...
