## Abstract Low density open‐cell foams were obtained from polylactic acid (PLA) and from blends of PLA with thermoplastic starch (TPS) using CO~2~ as a blowing agent. Two unexpected features were found. First, a 2D cavitation process in the fractured cell walls was unveiled. Elliptical cavities wi

## Abstract A “green” processing method, dual‐melt extrusion, was used to prepare thermoplastic starch/montmorillonite nanocomposites without organic reactions in the solution. XRD demonstrates that sorbitol enlarged the interlayer distance of MMT during the first step. MMT‐sorbitol, formamide and
