Abstract
ratio (0.9) was observed compared to GO (0.82), associated with greater intercalation of CTAB between the GO sheets. Finally, an SEM analysis of the PLA/GO nanocomposite was carried out and the homogeneous distribution of GO in PLA was demonstrated when it is used as a filler in proportions of 0.1%. This treatment, in turn, contributed to improving the mechanical flexural properties of the nanocomposite materials.
