Preparation and properties of biodegradable starch–clay nanocomposites (2010, background): “Intercalation of glycerol into the clay results in an ordered structure with a characteristic diffraction peak at 2h ca. 5 (Chen & Evans, 2005).”
Thermoplastic starches: Properties, challenges, and prospects (2013, methodology): “A similar behavior was displayed and evaluated in TPS and clay matrices [98, 172, 173, 176–188].”
Starch-based nanocomposites reinforced with flax cellulose nanocrystals (2008, unknown): “ous physical or chemical means have been used to solve these problems, including blending with other synthetic polymers [7–9], the chemical modification [10–12], graft copolymerisation [13], and incorporating fillers such as lignin [14], clay [15], and multi-walled carbon nanotubes [16].”
Potential perspectives of bio-nanocomposites for food packaging applications (2007, background): “Clay, as potential filler, has been chosen for improving the properties of TPS in such applications (Chen & Evans, 2005; De Carvalho, Curvelo, & Agnelli, 2001; McGlashan & Halley, 2003; Park et al., 2002; Wilhelm, Sierakowski, Souza, & Wypych, 2003; Yoon & Deng, 2006).”
Nanotechnology and its applications in lignocellulosic composites, a mini review (2007, background): “The moduli of treated-hectorite and kaolinite composites were very similar at similar clay loadings and were lower than the nanocomposites, for nanocomposites, montmorillonite generally provided a slightly greater improvement in the modulus than untreated hectorite [137].”
Optimization of mechanical properties of thermoplastic starch/clay nanocomposites (2010, methodology): “Many authors have investigated the effects of extrusion variables on melt intercalation of starch/clay nanocomposites (Chen & Evans, 2005; Chiou, Yee, Glenn, & Orts, 2005; Dean et al., 2007).”
Environmental friendly food nano-packaging (2017, background): “Mostly nanoclays have been reported to improve the mechanical strength of several polymers (Avella et al. 2005; Chen and Evans 2005; Jawahar and Balasubramanian 2006; Mangiacapra et al. 2006; Russo et al. 2007; Cyras et al. 2008; Yu et al. 2003) and also of biopolymers, making their use feasible as…”
