PLA was melt blended in a twin screw extruder with an ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) impact modifier in the range 5-30 wt% in the presence of 2 wt% of an organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT) to minimize the loss of stiffness and strength of PLA. The first part of this work reports on the study and comparaison of PLA/E-MA-GMA blends and PLA/E- MA-GMA/OMMT ternary nanocomposites prepared by mixing all ingredients simultaneously in the hopper of the extruder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that PLA and E-MA-GMA form an immiscible blend in which the rubber formed sub-micron particles the size of which increased with increasing rubber content. Impact strength and ductility of the blends increased with increasing rubber content but at the expense of stiffness and strength.
