Abstract
Effect of synthetic mica on the thermal properties of poly(lactic acid)
Highlights
Properties investigated by Differencial Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
The thermal stability of the nanocomposites was studied by TGA
The TG curves of the nanocomposites show an increase in thermal stability compared to neat poly(lactic acid) (PLA)
Summary
Properties investigated by DSC, TGA and DMA. Three different types of synthetic mica The melt blending of PLA and these micas is characterized by a considerable reduction in the matrix molecular weight, which decreases when the nanofiller content is increased. The thermal stability increases when mica is added to the polymer, with the Somasif MPE, producing the highest increase of the degradation temperature and highest reduction of T .
