Synergistic effects of filler size on thermal annealing-induced percolation in polylactic acid (PLA)/graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) nanocomposites

Two graphene-based nanofillers of different sizes were melt mixed with polylactide acid (PLA). Composite films based on graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) with the largest lateral size showed superior electrical conductivity and a lower percolation threshold after melt-compounding and hot-pressing at roo...
