“…Conductive carbonaceous materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphite, graphene and/or its derivatives have been widely used as nanofillers to improve the electrical properties of polymeric matrices . The dispersion of the filler into de polymeric matrix plays a key role in order to obtain good results.…”

Nanocomposites of polylactide (PLA) and functionalized graphene sheets (FGS) were obtained via melt compounding. Pre‐incorporation of the FGS fillers into lactic acid oligomers (OLLA) by in situ melt polycondensation was performed with the aim of improving the FGS dispersion and distribution into the polymeric matrix. To evaluate the effect of the pre‐incorporation step, a comparison with direct addition of the filler to the melt mixing process was carried out. Addition of OLLA and FGS led to enhanced better barrier properties. Specifically, reductions of up to 45% and 41% in oxygen and water vapor permeability were achieved, respectively. Mechanical and electrical properties of the PLA and its nanocomposites were also studied and correlated with both the addition of oligomers and the incorporation method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…In addition, the low cost and relative abundance in nature make these materials very attractive from a technological point of view. 106,107 Cellulose nano-whiskers (CNWs) are highly crystalline materials produced by the acid hydrolysis of natural cellulose. This represents a challenge to combine them with anionic molecules, which in turn are the most abundant between functional materials (i.e.…”

Solid state mixing", such as mechanical milling (MM), represents an ecological and economical alternative to achieve homogeneous dispersion of nano-fillers into biodegradable polymers. The advantage of working at low temperatures, without a solvent and with almost any type of polymer matrix, opens new and unexplored routes for the preparation of advanced functional materials. The use of mechanical milling contains within itself several advantages, including a strong reduction of environmental disposal, the control of the degradation processes associated with high temperature, the compatibilization of immiscible blends and the treatment of waste disposal and recycled materials. The simultaneous formation and dispersion of nanoparticles, the promotion of mechano-chemical reactions and the proper manipulation of thermo-sensitive active molecules such as antimicrobials, oxygen scavengers and antibiotics are other advantages of this process. The aim of the current work is to review the recent literature on the use of MM as a green technique to produce bio-nanocomposites. It is demonstrated how this technology could be considered an interesting option for the fabrication of novel nanostructured materials from environmental friendly resources. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available.
