Mechanical properties of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/clay nanocomposite

Polymer nanocomposite (PNC) is a polymer or copolymer having dispersed in its nanoparticles. These may be of different shape (platelets, fibers, spheroids), then dimension must be in the range of 1 to 50 nm. PNC represent a new class of material alternative to the conventional filled polymers. Nanos...
