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 Poly(Lβlactide) (PLA) was meltβmixed with micrometerβsized and nanosized calcium carbonate (CaCO~3~) particles before and after modification with calcium stearate. Adhesion between the CaCO~3~ particles and the PLA matrix was assessed qualitatively by scanning electron microscopy observ
