Morphology, Biodegradability, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of Nanocomposite Films Based on PLA and Plasticized PLA Guralp Ozkoc, Sebnem Kemaloglu Department of Chemical Engineering, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli 41040, Turkey Received 15 October 2008; accepted 13 May 2009 DOI 10.1002/app.30772 Published online 7 July 2009 in Wiley InterScience (). ABSTRACT: In this study, melt intercalation method is of 3% clay to the neat-PLA does not affect the strength; applied to prepare poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethyl- however, it enhances the modulus of the nanocomposites ene glycol) (PEG)-plasticized PLA nanocomposite films in comparison to neat-PLA. Incorporation of 3% clay to including 0, 3, and 5% organoclay (Cloisite 30B) using a the plasticized PLA improves the modulus with respect to laboratory scale compounder, which is connected to a PLA/PEG; on the other hand, the strain at break value is microcast film device. To evaluate the nanomorphology lowered 40%. The increase in the rate of biodegradation and the dispersion state of the clays, X-ray diffraction in composting medium is found as in the order of PLA (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are PLA/PEG 3% Clay/PLA/PEG 5% Clay/PLA/PEG conducted. Tensile tests are performed to characterize the 3% Clay/PLA. DSC analysis shows that the addition of mechanical behavior of the films. Biodegradation rate is 3% clay to the neat PLA results in an increase in Tg . The determined by degradation tests in composting medium. addition of 20% PEG as a plasticizer to the neat-PLA Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) is applied to decreases Tg about 30 C,
