THERMO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND THERMAL DEGRADATION CONTROL OF POLY (LACTIC ACID) AND POLY (LACTIC ACID)/CLAY/WOOD NANOCOMPOSITES

Poly (lactic acid) is an important biopolymer with suitable mechanical properties for construction and packaging applications. The mechanical and thermal properties of PLA can be tailored by compounding reinforcing fillers. PLA nanocomposites based on nanoclay and/or wood flour were prepared by melt extrusion of PLA.
