Biodegradable PLA is commonly derived from renewable resources and benign to the environment. It is a brittle thermoplastic with high strength and modulus; thus a suitable candidate for replacing conventional petroleum-based plastic. However, due to its limitation, PLA needs to be blended with other polymers and fillers for properties modifications. The aim of this work was to prepare PLA/PA6/GNP nanocomposites and characterize on the mechanical, thermal, chemical and dispersion of nanofiller in binary blend systems. PLA/PA6/GNP nanocomposites were blended by using a Haake twin screw extruder via melt intercalation method. The ratio of the polymer matrix was fixed at 20:80 and the processing temperature was in the range of 205 °C to 260 °C. Graphene nanoplatelet fillers were Plasticized polylactide/clay nanocomposites. I. The role of filler content and its surface organo-modification on the physico-chemical properties
