Abstract

This research focuses on the interrelationship between the structure and properties of cellulosic composites. To achieve its optimum performance, the compatibility of produced nanocomposites was focus. Few studies had shown that the properties of biopolymers enhanced by the presence of nanofillers. This was proved from the characterization analyses, involving structural, thermal and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray (EDS/EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), tensile strength and tensile modulus tests. For the mechanical properties, the highest tensile strength and tensile modulus was achieved for Sample 10 which contain 4wt% cellulose, 2.434wt% MMT and 93.566wt% of PLA. The strength generated by this composite was 16.063 MPa for the tensile strength and 0.015083 GPa for the tensile modulus.
