Abstract
Biodegradable nanocomposite material based on thermoplastic starch and poly(vynyl alcohol) has been successfully synthesized by solution casting method. The clay contents using as nano-filler are 3, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 50phr. All of these products have nano-structures. These structures of montmorillonite dispersing phases are studied by Small Angle X-Ray Diffraction machine (SAXRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Morphology of the blend of thermoplastic starch and poly(vynyl alcohol) changes when montmorillonite is added. The morphologies of polymer blend and nanocomposite materials are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
