Permeability & characterization study of (polylactic acid) PLA-modified NA+ nanocomposites for packaging application

One of the most versatile polymers is poly-lactic acid (PLA) which is well known as its biodegradable, high molecular weight, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources which is environmentally benign and good processability. In this study, a series of PLA nanocomposite with a different pe...
