Pro-degradant effect of talc nanoparticles on degradation process of polypropylene (PP) films was studied. For this purpose, two talc minerals having different intrinsic characteristics and iron content were used. Films ...

Nanocomposite films of thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) with talc particles were obtained by thermo-compression in order to study the effect of filler on structure, optical, and thermal properties. Talc increased the films ...

Nanocomposite films of TPS with talc particles were obtained by thermo-compression in order to study the effect of this filler on structure, optical, and thermal properties. TPS-talc films showed good appearance and ...

Packaging bags from thermo-compressed films of thermoplastic corn starch containing talc nanoparticles (0, 1, 3 and 5% w/w) were developed. Mechanical properties of films were studied by two different techniques (tensile ...

Films based on thermoplastic corn starch (TPS) and talc nanoparticles were developed by melt mixing and thermo-compression. Films structure, optical and barrier properties, as well as thermal stability and water sorption ...

Nowadays, technological interest is focused on a new generation of composite polymers based on biodegradable matrices from renewable raw materials with either organic or mineral fillers. These biocomposites have several ...

A structural study about the changes induced by plasticization of native corn starch was carried out in this work. The influence of talc nanoparticles presence during starch thermal processing was also evaluated. Macroscopic ...

A phenomenological analysis on desorption mechanism of lemon essential oil in semicrystalline polymer nanocomposites is performed. Films made with polypropylene and talc nanoparticles obtained by blown extrusion are used ...
