Rheology, Microstructure, and Property of Polylactide/Clay Nanocomposites Prepared with SC-CO2 by Melt Compounding

Jiang G., Chen Z.K., Huang H.X., South China University of Technology, CN

The rheology, microstructure and mechanical properties of polylactide (PLA)/clay nanocomposites were investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared using a twin screw extruder with and without the aid of supercritical carbon dioxide. Results show that there exists [...]

Dynamic rheology and microstructure of polymer/clay nanocomposites prepared under Sc-CO2 by melt compounding

Huang H.X., Zhao Y., South China University of Technology, CN

PP- and EVOH-clay nanocomposites were prepared using a twin screw extruder with the aid of supercritical carbon dioxide (Sc-CO2). The dynamic rheological properties were measured using a rheometer in the oscillatory mode. X-ray diffraction and [...]
