Preparation and characterization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/ Cloisite25A nanocomposites

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/Cloisite25A (PHB/25A) nanocomposites were prepared by solution-intercalation method. The intercalation of PHB chains between the layers of Cloisite25A was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and non-isothermal thermogravimetry (TG) ana...
