Abstract
The preparation of nanocomposites of poly(lactic acid) and various proportions of organically modified montmorillonite clay by solution intercalation using toluene as solvent and by melt intercalation using a twin-screw extruder, and their characterisation by flexural properties, FESEM, EDX, XRD and DSC, is described. The effects of filler content and preparation method on mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of the nanocomposites are discussed in terms of filler dispersion. 15 refs.
