Molecular dynamics insights into the tensile behavior of CNT-reinforced PLA and PGA nanocomposites

Polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA) are biodegradable and biocompatible aliphatic polyesters with potential for biomedical and load-bearing systems applications. However, their mechanical performance may not be appropriate for applications requiring high stiffness a...
