Effect of nanoclay on optical properties of PLA/clay composite films

Author: Cele, HM ; Ojijo, Vincent O ; Chen, H ; Kumar, S ; Land, K ; Joubert, T ; De Villiers, MFR ; Ray, SS Date: Jun 2014 This article reports the modification of optical properties of biodegradable/biocompatible polylactide (PLA) using organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) for microcantilever applications. PLA/OMMT composite films with various OMMT loadings ... Read more
Mechanical, thermal, and fire properties of biodegradable polylactide/boehmite alumina composites

Author: Das, K ; Ray, Suprakas S ; Chapple, Stephen A ; Wesley-Smith, J Date: May 2013 Boehmite alumina (BAl) was investigated in terms of its use as an filler to improve the inherent properties of polylactide (PLA). Composites of PLA with different loadings of BAl were prepared by melt-blending. Morphological analysis using ... Read more
Thermal degradation characteristic and flame retardancy of polylactide-based nanobiocomposites

Author: Malkappa, Kuruma ; Bandyopadhyay, J ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: Oct 2018 Polylactide (PLA) is one of the most widely used organic bio-degradable polymers. However, it has poor flame retardancy characteristics. To address this disadvantage, we performed melt-blending of PLA with intumescent flame retardants (IFRs; ... Read more
