Abstract
Bionanocomposites from biopolymers and inorganic nanoparticles are of great interest for packaging materials due to their enhanced physical, thermal, mechanical, and processing characteristics. In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites with covalent bonding between TiO2 nanowire surface and PLA chains were synthesized through in situ melt polycondensation. Molecular weight, structure, morphology, and thermal properties were...
