Plastics are superior materials in terms of their costs, processability and functional properties, derived from fossil resources. However the plastics are difficult to decompose and remain in various ecosystems, accounting for a significant portion of environmental pollution, thus causing considerable concerns. The biodegradable polymers, PLA and PBAT are the most extensively promising alternatives as a substitute for conventional petroleum-based polymers preventing environmental pollution. However, PLA and PBAT blend are immiscible considering the difference in their solubility parameters, and having phase‐separated structures, which represented as the sea-island, the double emulsion, the laminar, and the co-continuous. In this study, the effects of melt blending technique and the surface energy of nanofillers on the selective localization of nanofillers is studied for improving the mechanical properties of the PLA/PBAT nanocomposite. |
