Orientation and exfoliation of clay nanoparticles in the spinning of a nanobiocomposite sample

Polymer nanobiocomposites represent a new group of materials filled with inert nanosized particles that show very interesting properties with respect to the matrix and the same biodegradability of the matrix. In this work we have studied the effect of the elongational flow on the morphology and dynamic-mechanical properties of a new nanobiocomposite made by a matrix of biodegradable PLA and a filler of organomodified montmorillonite.
