Notes:
A novel nanocomposite based on nanodiamond (ND) powder and Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) forpotential bio-engineered applications was fabricated for the first time by using melting compoundmethods. Its structure and mechanical properties were investigated by using transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile property test. The resultsshowed that as compared with pure PLA, ND/PLA nanocomposites possessed higher modulus,higher strength and comparable elongation at break, in other words, the mechanical properties ofPLA were significantly improved by incorporating ND powder into it. This is presumably due tohomogeneous dispersion of ND cluster, good interfacial bonding and unique ND bridge structuresin the ND/PLA nanocomposites
