The image of Transmission Electron Microscopy Micrographs by Mayara Pollyane Calderaro and colleagues shows the morphology of nanobiocomposites: PBAT/hybrid nanofiller‐montmorilonitte, sepiolite, and nanoTiO2. The nanocomposites with isolated nanoclays present tactoids and some agglomerates, while good dispersion of the nanoTiO2 particle is observed in the polymeric matrix. The hybrid nanocomposites show synergism on mechanical and barrier properties due to the dispersion of nanofillers, mainly for the montmorillonite that presented intercalated and exfoliated structures.
