Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-Property Relationship in Biodegradable Poly(butylene succinate)/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organically modified layered silicate (OMLS) nanocomposites were prepared using a simple melt intercalation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Polylactide/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites. 1. Preparation, Characterization, and Properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of compatibilizer in nanocomposites was investigated by focusing on morphological analysis and mechanical property measurements, and the intercalated nan composites exhibited remarkable improvement of materials properties in both solid and melt states as compared to that of PLA matrices without clay.
