A Study of Morphological and Thermal Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) Modified MMT (Ion Exchange Method) Nanocomposite

Polylactic (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester produced by the ring opening polymerization of lactide. PLA is more suitable because it is made from renewable sources and its properties are friendly to the environment. A series of biodegradable PLA nanocomposites using modified organoclay. T...
