Crystalline morphology of PLA/clay nanocomposite films and its correlation with other properties

Polylactic acid (PLA)‐based composite films with four different loadings of nanoclay (2, 5, 10, and 15 wt %) were prepared using a solvent casting method and their crystalline morphology was investigated. The crystalline morphology was significantly different in the films depending on the clay co…
