Characterization of a green nanocomposite prepared from soluble soy bean polysaccharide/Cloisite 30B and evaluation of its toxicity.

The present paper aims to elucidate the structural, thermal and mechanical properties of soybean polysaccharide (SSPS)/Cloisite 30B. Tensile strength of the nanocomposite films improved with incorporation of nanoparticles, whereas elongation at break decreased. Surface roughness of the samples increased with the addition of nanoclay.
