Abstract
The development of renewable resources is a trend in the future. Polylactide (PLA), as one member of bio-polymers, has obtained a widely focus in industry and academy because of its renewability, biodegradability, biocompatibility and good thermomechanical properties. PLA is used in a wide variety of applications such as biomedical, food packaging, electrical and electronic equipment, and the automotive industry. However, PLA still has some shortcomings, such as lower heat distortion temperature, slower crystallization rate, lower thermal resistance, etc. These shortcomings also limit the further widespread use of PLA. One effective method to expand and improve these properties of PLA is adding nanofillers. This review summarizes and describes the role of nanocellulose as a filler in the modification of PLA matrix and some of the problems faced.
