Abstract
⺠Melt-blending is an efficient process to disperse halloysites in plasticized starch. ⺠Addition of halloysites enhances the mechanical properties of the plasticized starch. ⺠Halloysites increases the tensile strength without sacrificing the ductility. ⺠Enhanced properties were correlated with the microstructure of the nanocomposites.
