Abstract
► The degradation of clay organo-modifiers during processing affect clay dispersion degree and clay content inside the matrix. ► Isothermal thermogravimetrical analysis was used to simulate the thermal degradation of clay organo-modifiers in extrusion. ► Improving polymer–clay compatibility may not be the main factor to achieve the best mechanical performance. ► The best combination between PCL/clay compatibility and thermal resistance of the clay, was obtained for C20A.File in questo prodotto:
