In this work, a novel method to prepare composite systems based on polylactide (PLA) and high surface area nano-graphite (HSAG) has been developed, consisting of the application of ionic liquids (ILs) as dispersing/exfoliating agents for nanofillers. Indeed, the proposed approach is easy as well as with a low environmental impact, involving...

In this work, novel graphite-based composites consisting of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) immiscible blends are developed by means of a simple and low-environmental-impact method, which does not require the use of either solvents or graphite oxide. Indeed, the proposed approach relies on the preliminary dispersion of a...
