Abstract
This chapter critically reviews the different methods used in the processing of natural origin biodegradable polymer nanocomposites based on clays and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with specific attention focused on melt processing techniques. The correlation between the processing methods and the resulting composite structures is elucidated. In particular, this chapter describes the dispersion of clays or CNTs in various natural origin biodegradable polymer matrices and how this dispersion is affected by a number of factors during melt processing. Challenges encountered in these nanocomposite materials are also discussed.
