Mechanical and thermal properties of melt processed PLA/organoclay nanocomposites
Polylactic acid (PLA) and organically modified layered silicates (organoclay) with concentrations of 2-10 wt% were prepared by melt intercalation technique. The effects of organoclay on the mechanical and thermal properties of PLA were studied. Tensile properties were evaluated using an Instron Univ...
