• closedAccess   Biotic degradation of poly(DL-lactide) based nanocomposites 

      Fukushima, K.; Giménez Torres, Enrique; Cabedo, Luis; LAGARON, Jose; Feijoo, J. L. Elsevier (2012)
      Amorphous PLA nanocomposites based on organic modified kaolinite (KAO) and montmorillonite (MONT) at 4 wt.% were prepared by melt blending and then biodegraded in compost. All materials showed effective degradation in ...
    • closedAccess   Study of the dispersion of nanoclays in a LDPE matrix using microscopy and in-process ultrasonic monitoring 

      Villanueva Redón, María del Pilar; Cabedo, Luis; Giménez Torres, Enrique; LAGARON, Jose; Coates, P. D.; Kelly, A. L. Elsevier (2009)
      LDPE/montmorillonite and LDPE/kaolinite compounds were prepared by twin-screw extrusion using two screw profiles. The microstructure of the samples was determined by a combination of techniques: wide angle X-ray scattering ...
