Polylactic acid (PLA) has a long history in medical applications. Reinforced PLA has the potential to be used in the medical applications that require high mechanical strength such as coronary stents and bone fixation devices. Halloysite nanotube (HNT) has received considerable attention recently due to its tubular structure, high aspect ratio, high mechanical strength, thermal stability, biocompatibility...
The aim of this study was to develop fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites via twin screw extrusion with the addition of a compatibilizer. Initial studies were performed to establish the optimum initiator percentage in terms of grafting efficiency between PLA and maleic anhydride (MA). Results show that PLA MA 7 obtained the highest level of grafting efficiency. Subsequent viscometric...
