  By Chandra Shekhar Verma, Renu Dhetarwal, Mohammed Tajammul Hussain, Mohammed Faisal Ahmed, Naresh Kumar Sharma

  Abstract: The growing issues concerning the properties of petroleum-based plastics on the environment increased the demand for biodegradable alternatives and polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most promising options available. However, its poor toughness, thermal resistance, and barrier properties limit broader applications in sustainable packaging. This study reports the fabrication and characterization of PLA-based nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at varying loadings (0.1-2 wt.%). Structural analysis (FTIR, XRD) confirmed …
