Ethylene copolymer toughened polylactic acid nanocomposites

Polylactic acid (PLA)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites toughened with Biostrong (an ethylene copolymer from DuPont) was developed. PLA, Biostrong and MMT were melt blended using twin-screw extruder followed by injection molding. Impact strength improved with 2 phr MMT in PLA/Biostrong. Flexural...
