Enhancement of tensile strength and flexibility of Polycaprolactone/Tapioca starch blends by Octadecylamine modified clay.

Polycaprolactone/tapioca starch/octadecylamine modified clay (OMMT) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by melt blending. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the products showed that they are nanocomposites of a mixture intercalated and exfoliated types. In addition...
