Segmental relaxation and partial crystallization of chain-extended Poly(l -lactic acid) reinforced with carboxylated carbon nanotube

Temperature‐modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) were employed to study the glass transition, size of the cooperative rearranging regions (CRRs), crystallization kinetics, and dielectric relaxation response of nanocomposites constituted by chain‐extended poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) and carboxylated carbon nanotubes (f‐CNTs). The CRR size and the number of relaxing structural units decreased...
