Abstract: 
DL-PLA/CLOISITE 20A nanocomposite is fabricated by solution casting method. , DL-PLA/CLOISITE 20A/PANI Nanocomposite is also synthesized by chemical-oxidation method. Characterization of that nanocomposite is made using XRD, FTIR, UV Visible. TGA studies a wettability studies and dielectric analysis of prepared materials. Results reveal enhancement of thermal stability and crystallinity of the nanocomposite. Further, nanocomposite shows that it is hydrophilic in nature. Frequency dependent ac-conductivity and dielectric loss are estimated for the nanocomposite. Dielectric loss is observed to possess low value (0.2). Fabricated DL-PLA/Cloisite 20A may serve as insulating layers to suppress dielectric loss effectively.
