(a) TGA profiles of the virgin PCL and PLC-based organo-modified bentonite nanocomposites (1, 5, and 10 wt.-% of nanofiller) and (b) SEM micrograph of the PCL–organo-modified bentonite nanocomposites (5 wt.-% of clay). The subfigure inserted in (a) shows that at 320 °C to 380 °C, the PCL-Bnt 10% composite demonstrated to be more stable than neat PCL. Reprinted with permission from Ref. [51].
