shows increase in tensile strength and Young’s modulus
when MCC used as reinforcement in poly (vinyl chloride). Mathew
and co-workers reported the use of MCC as filler in PLA using twinscrew
extrusion process. The results showed lower mechanical
properties as compare to pure PLA. However the dynamic mechanical
thermal analysis (DMTA) showed that the storage modulus
was increased with the addition of MCC (Mathew, Oksman, & Sain,
2005).
