Abstract
A resin composition comprising a polyolefin, carbon nanotubes and poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid). The invention also covers a process for preparing a resin composition comprising a polyolefin, carbon nanotubes and poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid) by (i) blending a poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid) with carbon nanotubes to form a composite (ii) blending the composite with a polyolefin. The use of poly(hydroxy carboxylic acids) as a compatibiliser to blend carbon nanotubes into polyolefins is also claimed.

A process comprising:
- blending a poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid) with carbon nanotubes to form a composite;
- wherein the blending of the poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid) with the carbon nanotubes comprises solution processing, dry blending, dry blending and melt blending, or melt blending.
A process comprising:
- polymerizing hydroxy carboxylic acid monomers to form poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid);
- and
- blending the poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid) with carbon nanotubes to form a composite having the carbon nanotubes dispersed within the poly(hydroxy carboxylic acid).
