Crystallization kinetics and degradation of nanocomposites based on ternary blend of poly(L‐lactic acid), poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene oxide) with two different organoclays
Andi Auliawan,Eamor M. Woo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the evolution of activation energy during nonisothermal course using isoconversional method, and the trend of activation energies variation was found to be different for each of two organoclays, where Clo10A induces better stability than that of OVMT.
