“…Other studies, however, present results that indicate a lower degradability rate for the nanocomposites, like for PBS/organoclay nanocomposite films after a soil compost test (Lee et al 2002), PHB nanocomposite (Wu and Wu 2006), or PLA/chitosan/organically modified nanoclay (Sinha Ray et al 2003b). They indicated that the lower degradability rate was due to the higher barrier properties of the nanocomposites.…”

“…Partially exfoliated structures were also obtained with C25B. Later, other researchers also reported the preparation of exfoliated PLA-OMMT clays via solvent casting in chloroform and dichloromethane (Jaffar Al-Mulla 2011; Wu and Wu 2006). The preparation of PLA/clay nanocomposites by in situ polymerization has seldom been reported by different researchers.…”

“…These bio binders can degrade inside the body at a rate that can be controlled; their degradation products are nontoxic, biocompatible, and easily metabolized 10 . Bio-binders find many applications in a number of fields such as drug delivery system, wound healing, food containers and agricultural films, waste bags, soil retention sheeting, filtration, hygiene and protective clothing, and automobile industries 11 . Biocomposites are widely applied in the field of biomedical applications 12 .…”
