The effective incorporation of amine modified bentonite nanoclays (AMB) in the PVA matrix leads to increase in thermal stability, stress-strain properties. The effect of addition of functionalized nanoclays in PVA matrix exhibits intercalated nanocomposite structure. The thermal decomposition (Td) temperature of the composites increases up to 30 °C, than pristine PVA. The morphology influences were studied by TEM. These clay nanocomposite films could be useful for wound dressing material and for enhancing the moisture absorbance properties.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.511</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
