Abrégé

Disclosed is a reinforced biodegradable polymer nanocomposite. The reinforced biodegradable polymer nanocomposite comprises a polymer matrix and functionalised graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material dispersed in the polymer matrix. The graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material are functionalized with functional groups in a manner that planar structure of the graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material is retained. Disclosed further is a method of manufacturing the aforementioned reinforced biodegradable polymer nanocomposite. The method comprises functionalizing graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material with functional groups in a manner that planar structure of the graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material is retained; and dispersing functionalized graphene nanoplatelets or graphene-like material in the polymer matrix to form the reinforced biodegradable polymer nanocomposite.
