• New ways to enhance the functionality of paperboard by surface treatment – a review (2008, background): “The incorporated clay particles can inhibit crystallization of the polymer matrix by restricted chain mobility through the association with the clay plates.(178) This has led to an increase in the tensile strength of starch/polyester blends with increased montmorillonite content.”
• Natural Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films for Packaging Applications (2007, background): “However, recent research (McGlashan and Halley, 2003) has indicated that organoclays show much promise for starch-based polymer nanocomposites in terms of improvements in their mechanical properties and stability over those of the unfilled formulations.”
• Environmental friendly food nano-packaging (2017, background): “Clay, as potential filler, has been used for improving the properties of thermoplastic starch in such applications (De Carvalho et al. 2001; McGlashan and Halley 2003; Wilhelm et al. 2003; Chen and Evans 2005; Yoon and Deng 2006).”
• Biodegradable Multiphase Systems Based on Plasticized Starch: A Review (2004, methodology): “On PLS-biodegradable polyester blends, McGlashan and Halley([206]) have shown that nanocomposites tend to improve the mechanical properties (tensile and impact tests), the barrier properties and the transparency by crystallinity modification.”

• The effects of different starch sources and plasticizers on film blowing of thermoplastic starch: Correlation among process, elongational properties and macromolecular structure (2009, methodology): “More recently McGlashan and Halley (2003) employed nanoclay to improve the films properties of mixtures of starch and aliphatic polyesters.”
• 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).”
