In subsequent research, Sinha Ray et al. [26,27] prepared PLA nanocomposites with organically modified synthetic fluorine mica (OMSFM). For the characterization of structure and morphology of prepared nanocomposites, they first... 

Addition of organically modified synthetic fluorine mica (OSFM) [341] to PBSA was also found to cause substantial enhancement in the mechanical properties of PBSA. For example, at room temperature, storage flexural modulus increased from 0.5 GPa for pure PBSA to 1.2 GPa for the nanocomposite, an increase of about 120% in the value of the elastic modulus. It was also observed that the stability of PBSA was increased moderately in the presence of OSFM. 

In subsequent research, Sinha Ray et al. prepared PLACNs with organically modified synthetic fluorine mica (OMSFM). For the characterization of structure and morphology of prepared nanocomposites they first used XRD and conventional TEM (CTEM), and then CTEM and high resolution TEM (HRTEM), they examined the final structure of PLACNs. The compositions of nanocomposites of PLA with OMSFM are summarized in Table 3.1. The XRD...
