Abstract
This paper critically reviews the most important methods used in the processing of bionanocomposites, which are based on most extensively used biodegradable polymer matrices and nano-fillers, with specific attention on the melt processing techniques. The correlation between the processing procedures and the resulting nanocomposite structures has been elucidated. Of the various types of nano-fillers, particular attention has been focused on clays and carbon nanotubes because of their widespread use in the bionanocomposite field.
