Montmorillonite-Starch based Nano-Composites and Applications

Montmorillonite-Starch based Nano-Composites and Applications

Milan K Barman, Nirmala Tamang, Ajaya Bhattarai, Bidyut Saha

Biopolymer nanocomposites are the foremost valuable materials among the existing nanocomposites. Biopolymer nanocomposite compounds are biodegradable, eco-friendly and low in cost. Due to these properties, biopolymer nanocomposites can easily replace petroleum-based nanocomposite in various applications. Compared to pure polymer, clay-polymer nanocomposites exhibit favorable physical, chemical, and mechanical properties since they are dispersed at different sizes and contain improved size dispersion and size distribution. There are several biopolymers on earth, but starch is the most abundant. Moreover, its chemical and physical properties make it an important natural polymer.
