Abstract :
Various quantities of Cloisite 30B (from 1%
to 4% in weight) have been added to a polylactide matrix
by melt blending to produce polylactide-based nanocomposites.
Then, these blends have been melt-spun to produce
multifilaments yarns. It is demonstrated that it is necessary
to use a plasticizer to spin a blend with 4% in weight of
Cloisite 30B. The properties of these yarns have been
studied (dispersion of the clay, thermal, mechanical and
shrinkage properties). A decrease of the tensile properties
is observed when the quantity of Cloisite 30B increases,
but an improvement of the thermal and shrinkage properties
is highlighted. These multifilaments have been knitted
and the flammability studied using cone calorimeter at
35 kW/m2. A strong decrease, up to 38%, of the heat
release rate has been measured.
