Preparation and characterization of polylactide/polycaprolactone/fatty hydrazide and octadecylamine-modified clay nanocomposite

n this study, two organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) clay were prepared via ion exchange reaction. One was fatty hydrazides synthesized from palm oil functions was use to modify the nature of montmorillonite (Na-MMT). The other was ODA which is obtained from the industry. FH-MMT and ODAMMT...
