Significant modification of the surface morphology of polylactide (PLA) and PLA-halloysite nanocomposites in the presence of N,N’-ethylenebis(stearamide) upon thermal treatment
Surface morphology and bulk structure of polylactide (PLA) modified with halloysite nanotubes (HNT) treated with N,N’-ethylenebis(stearamide) (EBS) and untreated, as well as reference materials – PLA, EBS, and a blend of PLA with EBS, were examined. HNT is known to improve PLA properties, including...
