摘要
To improve the toughness of PIA, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/organically modified rectorite (OREC) nanocomposites were prepared via the melt-extrusion method. A partially exfoliated and partially intercalated structure was confirmed by WAXD and TEM. The crystallization behaviors of neat PLA and nanocomposite were studied by POM and DSC, and it was found that OREC had a great effect on the overall crystallization rate and spherulitic texture of PLA. The presence of OREC could toughen PLA greatly. For example, when 1 wt.% OREC was added, the elongation at break of the nanocomposite was increased to 210%. The toughening mechanism was analyzed through the observation of the inner structure of the tensile test bar using SEM. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
