• XRD and DSC indicated that the crystallinity of PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites increased.
• FTIR suggested that there were strong interactions between PLLA-PTMC and talc filler.
• SEM image of composite films revealed certain homogeneity between PLLA-PTMC and Talc.
• PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites performed well in mechanical and barrier properties.
• PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites can be used for development of food packaging materials.
Poly(l-lactide)-co-poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PLLA-PTMC) composites with various talc content as food packaging materials were prepared by solvent casting method. The effect of talc filler loading (0, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) on phase morphology of PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites and improvement in resulting properties were reported. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves indicated that the crystallinity of PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites increased. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) suggested that there were strong interactions between PLLA-PTMC copolymer and talc filler. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of composite films revealed certain homogeneity between PLLA-PTMC and Talc, when the talc filler did not exceed 3 wt%. The elongation at break of composite films significantly (p < 0.05) improved with the addition of talc filler. Furthermore, there were 23%, 31%, and 14% improvement in water vapor barrier properties at 1, 2, and 3 wt% of talc in PLLA-PTMC/Talc composites, respectively. This had been confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
