Nanocomposites Obtained by Montmorilonite Clay Additivation in P3 (HB-8%HV)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modified montmorilonite additivated films of poly 3 (hydroxybutyrateco-8%-hydroxyvalerate) were formulated by solvent evaporation technique and then characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning differential calorimetry. A preliminary characterization using these analyses revealed the formation of nanocomposites with partially exfoliated and interlayered structures. These nanocamposites display changes in the crystalline structure of the precursor biodegradable polymer.
