Preparation and Characterization of Tapioca Starch/Polycaprolactone/Clay Composites

In this work, plasticized tapioca starches (PTSs), blends of PTS and polycaprolactone (PCL), and composites of PTS/clay and PCL/PTS/clay were prepared by melt blending. Both natural clay (MMT) and octadecylamine modified clay (OMMT) were used in this study. OMMT was prepared by cation exchange react...
