- The aim of this study was to produce biodegradable polylactic acid/cellulose whisker nanocomposites by compounding extrusion and investigate the possibility to use polyvinyl alcohol to improve the dispersion of whiskers in the matrix. Two feeding methods of polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanowhiskers were used and evaluated, dry-mixing with polylactic acid prior extrusion or pumping as suspension directly into the extruder. Various microscopic techniques, tensile testing, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis were used to study the structure and properties of the nanocomposites. Due to immiscibility of the polymers, phase separation occurred with a continuous polylactic acid phase and a discontinuous polyvinyl alcohol phase. The whiskers were primarily located in the polyvinyl alcohol phase and only a negligible amount was located in the polylactic acid phase. This inadequate dispersion of whiskers in the polylactic acid phase was probably the reason why no improvements in thermal properties were seen for the nanocomposites. The relative small improvements in tensile modulus, tensile strength, and elongation to break for the nanocomposites also indicated that it was principally the polyvinyl alcohol phase that was reinforced with whiskers but not the polylactic acid phase.
