Mechanical and thermal characterisation of biopolymer nanocomposites based on PLA/Nanographene platelets

The Polymer Processing Society was founded in March 1985 at the University of Akron, Ohio, USA; the intent was to provide a mechanism and format for interaction and presentation of research results in the international polymer processing community; the goals are to foster scientific understanding and technical innovation in polymer processing by providing a discussion forum for the worldwide community of Engineers and Scientists in the field. The thematic range encompasses all formulations, conversion and shaping operations applied to polymeric systems in the transformation from their monomeric forms to commercial products. Membership for the PPS is open to all researchers in the field, and to all persons who feel the activities of the society advance their professional development. Every year, the society holds two meetings: One regional and one annual which is the major meeting of the society. The location of the annual meeting alternates among the three major geographic locations: Asia/Australia, Americas and Europe/Africa.
