Abstract
Biodegradable polymer nanocomposites of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and several organically modified montmorillonites (nanoclays), namely, Cloisite 30B, Cloisite Na+, Cloisite 25A, Cloisite 20A, Cloisite 93A, and Cloisite 15A were prepared by melt compounding using a Brabender twin-screw extruder. An exfoliated morphology was observed using both X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the combination of PLA...
