Influence of clay exfoliation on the properties of EVOH/Clay flexible films

This work aims to incorporate the BofWhite Clay, from Boa Vista, State, Brazil, as natural nanofiller in Ehylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and flexible films. Nanocomposite was obtained using a twin-screw extruder, and film formed using a blow extruder machine. The flexible film nanocomposite was chracterized, by tensile tests, XRD, DSC and the EVOH resulting in a increase of properties of films nanocomposites as compared to films neat polyme
