Flexible and strong ternary blends of poly(vinyl chloride
These nanoparticles suppressed migration of plasticizers when the amount of nano-particles was less than 20 phr, the migration of the DINP and TOTM decreased 20 % . Show abstract Poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC), as the second general plastic just following the product of polyethylene (PE), has been widely applied in building, electrical parts

TDA's nanoparticles showed excellent compatibility with both the host resin as well as the processing methods. Plasticizers are designed to make the host material softer, decrease the tensile strength and modulus, and increase the elongation; TDA was able to affect these changes in rigid and flexible PVC.

Nanoparticle-Anchored Plasticizers - US EPA
TDA’s nanoparticles are designed to be inexpensive and attractive to the commodity polymer materials market. TDA scaled up production of nanoparticles from the gram to Pictured above is the device used to synthesize TDA’s nanoparticle-anchored plasticizers, which soften polyvinyl chloride (PVC), keep plastics soft longer, and do not escape.
Final Report | Nanocomposite Anchored Plasticizers | Research
If properly designed, the plasticizing nanoparticles would show good dispersion without the loss in physical properties observed with larger particle fillers. TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) has shown that plasticizers anchored on nanoparticles can soften PVC, but cannot escape from the polymer.
- Can nanoparticles be used to develop polymer nanocomposite?
- Incorporation of nanoparticles in polymeric matrices to develop polymer nanocomposite with an idea to maximize the “nano-effect” derived out of the nanoparticles and to minimize the disadvantages of the polymer is an emerging area of research.
- What are Ag nanoparticles used for?
- Currently, Ag nanoparticles are widely used for several applications due to their excellent thermal, electrical, optical, and, especially, antimicrobiological properties (Li et al., 2010). Apart from large aspect ratios, nanoparticles and aggregates of nanoparticles also possess high surface-to-volume ratios.
- What are natural based plasticizers?
- Nowadays, there is increasing interest in the use of natural-based plasticizers that are characterized by low toxicity and low migration. This group includes epoxidized triglyceride vegetable oils from soybean oil, linseed oil, castor-oil, sunflower oil, and fatty acid esters (FAEs) .
- How successful are polymer nanocomposites?
- The success of polymer nanocomposites depends upon the selection of proper fabricating route and this in turn depends upon the type of nanoparticles that are being used as nanofillers.
- Do nanoparticles affect the mechanical and thermal properties of polymer nanocomposites?
- An effort is also made to understand the effect of such nanoparticles on the mechanical and thermal properties of polymer nanocomposites. Polymer composites have carved a niche in the field of materials science due to the ever-increasing demand for lightweight and high strength materials.
- What is a nanoparticle in nanotoxicology?
- A nanoparticle in the context of nanotoxicology is often characterised as three-dinensional and with all dimensions less than 100 nm. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles, the nanofillers are commonly dispersed within the polymer/matrix at a mass concentration typically between 0.1 and 10 wt.%.
