Organophilic montmorillonite was obtained by the reaction of montmorillonite (MON) and distearyldimethylammonium chloride (DSAC). The modified clay and poly( l-lactide), (PLLA), were solvent-cast blended using chloroform as cosolvent. The structure and properties of the PLLA-clay blends were investi

## Abstract This paper investigates the effect of both the clay loading and the monomer feed rate on the morphology and properties of poly(styreneโ__co__โbutyl acrylate)โclay nanocomposites prepared in emulsion polymerization. Analysis by Xโray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy
## Abstract Composites of poly(Lโlactide) (PLA) with hemp fibers (__Cannabis sativa__), prepared by batch mixing and plasticized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; weightโaverage molecular weight = 600 g/mol), were examined by polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, wideโangle Xโr
## Abstract Summary: Three kinds of organoclay, i.e., Cloisite15Aยฎ (C15A), Cloisite20Aยฎ (C20A), and Cloisite30Bยฎ (C30B) were modified with silane to prepare twice functionalized organoclay (TFC). The pristine Cloisiteยฎ clays and the TFC were melt compounded with poly(Lโlactide) (PLLA) and morpholog
## Abstract A commercial clay, Cloisiteยฎ20A (C20A) was modified with three different silane compounds, propyltrimethoxy silane, octyltrimethoxy silane, and octadecyltrimethoxy silane, to control the hydrophobicity of C20A. The amount of the silane compounds grafted to C20A was quantified from the w
