MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THERMOPLASTIC STARCH/MONTMORILLONITE/ALUMINA TRIHYDRATE NANOCOMPOSITES
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a biodegradable biopolymer that has exhibited great prospects to replace conventional synthetic polymers in commercial applications. However, one of the most critical limitations of TPS is the lack of crucial mechanical properties. This study proposes the novel combinat...
