Polylactic Acid (PLA) was blended with Natural Rubber (NR) and compatibilized by PLA grafted maleic anhydride (PMA) and NR grafted maleic anhydride (NMA) to achieve high performance of PLA/NR blends. Pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) was then added into PLA/NR blends with different CNT loading (1-8 par...
