Abstract

In this work, bionanocomposites based on different commercially available biodegradable polymers and two types of nanofillers (namely nanosized calcium carbonate and organomodified nanoclays) were produced through melt extrusion, aiming at evaluating the possible applications of these materials for pipe extrusion or film blowing processes. The assessment of the processing behavior of all the formulated bionanocomposites allowed identifying the most suitable systems for the production of blown films or irrigation pipes. Besides, the mechanical characterization of the so-processed materials demonstrated that selected bionanocomposites show adequate performances, thus confirming their suitability for these specific industrial applications as an alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based thermoplastics.
