Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by both solution blending and melt mixing methods. In addition, nanocomposites of PBS/organoclay were also prepared by a two-step process where the solution blended mixture is subsequently compounded in the melt state using a torque rheometer (SOAM method). We then investigated thermal and mechanical properties of the PBS/organoclay nanocomposite at first and determined an optimum organoclay content for the preparation of nanocomposite foams. All PBS/organoclay nanocomposite foams are found to possess closed sphericalshaped cells without any rupture when examined by an optical microscopy. The blowing ratio also increased with the increase in the blowing temperature and time, with the maximum blowing ratio of 19. Furthermore, the addition of a small amount of organoclay is found to allow the cell size to follow Gaussian distribution. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 51:1316–1324, 2011. a 2011 Society of Plastics Engineers
