chloride (PLAM). Then, the PLASTARCH was obtained by grafting
PLAM onto (NC). The evolution of the reactions was studied by
infrared spectroscopy, which confirmed the success of each step.
The grafting was investigated by TGA, FTIR and DSC. Furthermore,
large differences were observed between the material consisting of
a physical mixture of PLA and NC (PLA-NC blend) and that obtained
by chemical modification (PLASTARCH).
