Effects of the modifier types to thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of polylactic acid/modified nanoclay nanocomposite

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer, derived from renewable sources, having either a semi-crystalline or amorphous structure. These characteristics make PLA an excellent candidate for food packaging. However, it has many weaknesses such as poor thermal properties, brittle in tensile beh...
