The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of montmorillonite (MMT) type nanoclay content and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted polylactide (PLA) copolymer compatibilization on the mechanical properties of PLA nanocomposites; compounded by twin-screw extrusion melt-mixing followed with injection molding for shaping of bulk specimens. Successively intercalated and exfoliated structures of the nanocomposites were observed by XRD and TEM analysis, including the chemical interactions by FTIR. Mechanical tests indicated that use of only 1 wt% MMT resulted in significant improvements in many mechanical properties of PLA. Increases were only 14% in flexural modulus and 7% in flexural strength, but more than 6 times in ductility and as much as 85% in fracture toughness values. After MA compatibilization these improvements were much enormous, being more than 22 times in ductility and 119% in fracture toughness.

Properties of polylactide / montmorillonite nanocomposites: before and after weathering
Sarı, Burcu; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2015)
The aim of the first part of thesis was to investigate the effects of montmorillonite (MMT) type nanoclay content and maleic anhydride (MA) grafted polylactide (PLA) copolymer compatibilization on the properties of PLA nanocomposites. Nanocomposites have compounded by twin-screw extrusion melt-mixing followed with injection molding for shaping of bulk specimens. Successively intercalated and exfoliated structures of the nanocomposites were observed by XRD and TEM analysis, including the interactions with FT...
Effects of micro-nano titania contents and maleic anhydride compatibilization on the mechanical performance of polylactide
CAN, ULAŞ; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2020-02-01)
The first aim of this study was to compare influences of various contents of the micro- (200 nm) and nano (50 nm)-sized titania (TiO2) particles especially on the mechanical performance of the polylactide (PLA) biopolymer. Micro- and nano-composites were prepared by twin-screw extruder melt mixing, while the specimens were shaped by compression molding. Scanning electron microscope analyses and mechanical tests revealed that due to the most efficient uniform distribution in the matrix, the best improvements...
Effects of Annealing on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed PLA Components
Aydın, Sencer; Yaman, Ulaş; Özerinç, Sezer (null; 2018-11-09)
We investigated the effects of annealing on the crystallinity and mechanical properties of 3D-printed PLA specimens. Specimens with a dog-bone geometry for tensile testing were prepared by fused deposition modeling using a commercial PLA filament. The specimens were annealed at different temperatures in the range 80°C – 120°C fordifferent durations (60 minutes–24 hours) in dry nitrogen environment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characterized the crystallinity and the st...
Effects of titania particles on the behaviours of polylactide based composites
Can, Ulaş; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018)
In the first part of this thesis, the main aim was to compare influences of various contents of the micron (200 nm) and nano (50 nm) sized titania (TiO2) particles especially on the mechanical performance of the polylactide (PLA) biopolymer. Micro and nano composites were prepared by twin-screw extruder melt mixing, while the specimens were shaped by compression molding. SEM analyses and mechanical tests revealed that due to the most uniform distribution in the matrix, the best improvements in the strength,...
Influences of three different ethylene copolymers on the toughness and other properties of polylactide
MEYVA, YELDA; Kaynak, Cevdet (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate influences of three different ethylene copolymers on the toughness and other properties of very brittle biopolymer PLA (polylactide). For this aim, PLA was melt blended by twin-screw extruder with various amounts of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene-methyl-acrylate (EMA) and ethylene-n-butyl acrylate-glycidyl-methacrylate (EBA-GMA). SEM and DSC analyses indicated that these ethylene copolymers were thermodynamically immiscible with phase separation in the form o...
