Abstrakt: In this study, Octadecylamine Modified montmorillonites (ODAMMT) were used to prepare polylactide/polycaprolactone (PLA/PCL) clay nanocomposites. PLA and PCL were blend using an internal mixer by melt blending method. The other sample was blend with natrium monmorillonite (NaMMT) and Octadecylamine modified monmorillonite to produce PLA/PCL-NaMMT and PLA/PCL-ODAMMT. To characterize the polymer nanocomposite, X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR and SEM analysis were conducted. Comparison of morphology were made up between neat PLA/PCL, PLA/PCL with presence of of montmorillonite and octadecylamine modified monmorillonite respectively based on SEM micrograph. The number-average diameter was calculated for PLA/PCL, PLA/PCL-NaMMT, and PLA/PCL-ODAMMT.
