Summary: The fracture strain for the composite of poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) and double‐fullerene end‐capped poly(ethylene oxide) (FPEOF) was observed about 100 times of PLLA with a high modulus for room‐temperature aged samples. The aggregates of fullerene of FPEOF ends give rise to the formation of physical network of poly(ethylene oxide), which forms a pseudo‐semi‐interpenetrating network with PLLA and renders the astonishing enforcing effect on the PLLA.Strain‐stress curves of PLLA and PLLA/FPEO20F6 composite.
