© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Surface-modified montmorillonite (mMMT) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), both possessing plate-like structure, were adopted as property enhancers for a blend based on poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene adipate-. co-terephthalate). Unlike mMMT, GNPs contributed to higher stret...
