Carbon Nanofibers-Poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates Nanocomposite: Ultrasound-Assisted Dispersion and Thermostructural Properties

The conductivity and high surface-to-volume ratio of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) composited with the medium-chain-length poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) have attracted much attention as smart biomaterial. However, poor CNF dispersion leads to tactoid agglomerated composite with poor crystallite morph...
