Effect of Artificial Weathering on PLA/Nanocomposite Molecular Weight Distribution

Effect of Artificial Weathering on PLA/Nanocomposite Molecular Weight Distribution

The reduction of polylactide acid (PLA) molecular weight for amorphous and semicrystalline grade nanocomposites with 5 wt% load of organomodified montmorillonite Cloisite30B (C30B) was investigated in periods of up to 360 h under artificial weathering. A correlation between artificial and natural we...
