Polymer-Grafted WS <sub>2</sub> Nanocomposites: from Edge-Site Passivation to Melt-Stable Fused Granular Fabrication
edge and defect sites, preventing melt-induced polymer degradation. These findings provide direct experimental evidence that exposed edge sites in layered nanomaterials can actively catalyze polymer degradation under melt-processing conditions and establish edge-site passivation as a general design principle to mitigate chemically driven polymer degradation in polyester-based systems during melt processing, with the magnitude of the effect depending on the chemical susceptibility of the host polymer.
