“…Various nanofi llers have been used to improve the properties (typically as mechanical properties) of TPS and/or to add functional properties. These include phyllosilicates (e.g., montmorillonite (MMT)), polysaccharide nanofi llers (e.g., cellulose nanowhiskers, starch nanocrystals); carbonaceous nanofi llers (e.g., carbon nanotubes), and various metalloid oxides, metal oxides, and metal chalcogenides, as having been comprehensively reviewed elsewhere [71][72][73]. As the most frequently used nanofi ller, MMT, as a layered nanofi ller, when dispersed homogeneous in TPS, can increase the barrier properties as well as reinforce the material [74].…”
