Article Synopsis
- Hybrid nanocomposite materials were created by blending poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) with tungsten disulfide nanosheets (2D-WS) at varying amounts (0 to 1 wt%).
- The study explored how the addition of 2D-WS affected PLLA's crystallization rate and melting behavior, finding a surprising shift from reduced to increased crystallization with more nanosheets.
- Results revealed interesting double-melting peaks linked to the 2D-WS's influence on PLLA and suggested these nanocomposites could have valuable applications in various fields.
