The material was characterized using dynamicmechanical analyzer (DMA). Characterization works include obtaining mechanical properties, such as tensile and flexural properties of the nanocomposites. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 6 wt% was used as the plasticizer for blending with the PLA. It was found that the tensile and flexural strengths of thenanocomposites increased up to 43.8 MPa and 81.4 MPa respectively with the addition of 0.15 wt%MWCNTs. The DMA results revealed that the storage modulus and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites improved with the addition of 0.15 wt% CNTs, which was previously reduced by the incorporation of PEG. 2014-04-27T03:53:39Z 2014-04-27T03:53:39Z 2013 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol. 812, 2013, pages 181-186 978-303785837-0 1022-6680 http://www.scientific.net/AMR.812.181 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34095 en Trans Tech Publications
