Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health

[Show full abstract] high-stability bio-based plasticizer was obtained by a four-step reaction with ricinoleic acid as main raw material, and its structure was characterized and identified by FT
Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable
The development and utilization of biobased plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil, castor oil, cardanol, citrate, and isosorbide have been broadly investigated. The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized.
- Are bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid sustainable?
- Research on bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid (PLA), an environmentally friendly and biodegradable polyester, has advanced due to the increasing focus on sustainable materials.
- What materials are used to make bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid?
- The raw materials for the synthesis of bio-based plasticizers for PLA primarily include vegetable oils, citric acid, oleic acid, sebacic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, cardanol, isosorbide, and other small molecules (Fig. 3). Fig. 3. Origin and structural composition of bio-based plasticizer molecules designed for polylactic acid.
- Can biobased plasticizer be used as a heat stabilizer?
- The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility. Epoxidized isosorbide ester can be used as a heat stabilizer. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- What is the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications?
- In summary, the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications reflects rapid development and significant growth prospects. Future research should focus on bio-based plasticizers with synergistic effects such as plasticizing, toughening, antimicrobial, and anti-migration properties.
- Is linoleic acid a bio-based plasticizer?
- In this study, an eco-friendly bio-based plasticizer, ALCE with excellent migration resistance was synthesized using linoleic acid (LA) and cinnamyl alcohol (CA) from biomass. The composition of ALCE was characterized and confirmed using FTIR and 1 H NMR.
