Abstract
A novel biodegradable nanocomposite was fabricated based on poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) and silane-modified kaolinite/silica core–shell nanoparticles (SMKS), via solution-casting method using chloroform as solvent. Unmodified (ORK) and glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (G-silane) surface-modified kaolin (SMK) were also introduced into PHBHHx matrix for comparison. SMKS significantly improved the mechanical properties of...
