A potential advantage of platelet-like nanofillers as nanocomposite reinforcements is the possibility of achieving two-dimensional (2D) stiffening through planar orientation of the platelets. Forced assembly by multilayer coextrusion, which enables the in-plane orientation of platelet-like fillers in alternating layers, was used in this work to produce poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/graphene multilayer films. These films exhibited a multilayer structure made of alternating layers of neat PLA and PLA containing graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs). Electron microscopy revealed information on the orientation of the individual GNPs. X-ray diffraction results indicated that the thickness of the individual GNPs was reduced during the multilayer coextrusion process. A significant reinforcement of 120% at an overall GNP loading of 1 wt % in PLA was achieved. This high effective reinforcement was attributed to the high degree of planar alignment, improved dispersion and exfoliation and increased aspect ratio of the GNPs in the composite layers after multilayer coextrusion. Improved water vapor barrier properties were also achieved as a result of the highly organized 2D nanofillers in the multilayer films. These industrial scalable multilayer nanocomposite films open up possibilities for lightweight and strong packaging materials for food and industrial applications. (c) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
