Abstrakt: Nanobiocomposites are a new class of biodegradable polymer materials thatshowsvery interesting properties and the biodegradability of the matrix. In this work the effect of the polarity of the organomodified montmorillonite and of the elongational flow on the morphology and the rheological and mechanical properties of a new nanobiocomposite having as a matrix a biodegradable copolyester based blend has been investigated. The mechanical properties increase in presence of the nanofiller and this increase is larger and larger with increasing the orientation. Moreover, a brittle-to-ductile transition is observed in the anisotropic sample and this effect is again larger for the nanocomposite. The increase of the interlayer distance is larger for the more polar montmorillonite, even if the two nanocomposites show about the same final interlayer distance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
