Abstract

Abstract The stacking characteristics of organo-modified montmorillonite particles in poly(L-lactide) / clay hybrids have been investigated through FT-IR measurements and transmission electron microscopy. The clay particles tend to flocculate with hydrogen bonding among the hydroxyl groups of the surfactant, those located at the edge of clay particles, and/or those existing at the ends of polylactide chains.
