This work deals on the possibility to improve performances of PLA-based nanocomposite films, for packaging applications,\udthrough conveniently tuning materials and processing conditions in melt compounding technology. In particular, two types of\udpolylactic acid and different types of filler selected from montmorillonites and bentonites families were used to prepare the\udhybrid systems by using a twin-screw extruder. The effect of biaxial drawing on morphology and properties of the\udnanocomposites, produced by film blowing, was investigated
