Influence of Nanoparticle Pretreatment on the Thermal, Rheological and Mechanical Properties of PLA-PBSA Nanocomposites Incorporating Cellulose Nanocrystals or Montmorillonite

Influence of Nanoparticle Pretreatment on the Thermal, Rheological and Mechanical Properties of PLA-PBSA Nanocomposites Incorporating Cellulose Nanocrystals or Montmorillonite

Nanoparticles based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and montmorillonite clay (MMT) were prepared using spray freeze-drying. The nanoparticles were then used as reinforcement to prepare nanocomposites with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) as the polymer matrix. The effect of spray freeze-dried CNC (SFD-CNC) a...
