Novel CA modified starch–CMC–MMT bionanocomposite films
were prepared and the effect of MMT on the structural and physical
properties of the starch–CMC biocomposites was studied
An
increment in the interlayer distance of the clay sheets in the
bionanocomposites was observed by X-ray diffraction providing
evidence that the clay nanolayer formed an intercalated structure
without reach a complete exfoliation
