Abstract
Poly(e-caprolactone) MgAl - layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDH) nanocomposites were
prepared by melt intercalation. Two organically modified MgAl-LDH, stearic acid (stearate)
and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), were used. Nanocomposites morphology was studied by
XRD and TEM. Thermal properties were analysed by TG and DSC. Although both systems
showed presence of a mixed morphology, exfoliated and intercalated, MgAl-LDH stearate
nanocomposites showed a better dispersion of inorganic platelets. TEM images showed the
presence of individual platelets in the PCL matrix. MgAl-LDH SDS nanocomposites
