A model for water vapor permeability reduction in poly(lactic acid) and nanoclay nanocomposites

ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is used in packaging applications, but its moisture barrier properties are inferior to poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polystyrene. One objective of the study was to improve these by dispersing nanoclay in PLA. It was found that Cloisite 30B nanoclay showed the best...
