EFFECT OF NATURAL NANOSTRUCTURED RODS AND PLATELETS ON MECHANICAL AND WATER RESISTANCE PROPERTIES OF ALGINATE-BASED NANOCOMPOSITES

Effect of Natural Nanostructured Rods and Platelets on Mechanical and Water Resistance Properties of Alginate-Based Nanocomposites

A series of biopolymer-based nanocomposite films were prepared by incorporating natural one-dimensional (1D) palygorskite (PAL) nanorods, and two-dimensional (2D) montmorillonite (MMT) nanoplatelets into sodium alginate (SA) film by a simple solution casting method.The effect of different dimensions of nanoclays on the mechanical, water resistance,
