Sustainable Production of Safe Plasticizers with Bio-Based
Currently, 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylates are industrially manufactured from petroleum-derived o-xylene. To reduce the reliance on the limited fossil resources, we herein develop a sustainable...
Sustainable Production of Safe Plasticizers with Bio-Based
Catalysts, Cyclization, Hydrogenation, Toxicity Abstract 1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylates (e.g., di (isononyl) 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate, DINCH) are widely used as safe plasticizers in the polyvinylchloride (PVC) industry, and they are industrially manufactured from petroleum-derived o -xylene.
Sustainable Production of Safe Plasticizers with Bio-Based
5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HFCA), a promising bio-monomer from renewable resources, was used to synthesize two bio-based plasticizers, namely HHMFC and DHOBFC. The chemical structures ... 16 Structure-Performance Guided Design of Sustainable Plasticizers from Biorenewable Feedstocks C. Plass, Niklas Adebar, +6 authors H. Grger
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
Highly branched and nontoxic plasticizers based on natural
The bio-based alkyl terminal hyperbranched polyglycerols are biologically safe without acute toxicity, which make it potential to replace DOP (Lee et al., 2016). In addition, the using of one-pot solvent-free polymerization in preparing highly branched ester completely meets the requirements of green and sustainable chemical development (Lee et
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Are bio-plasticizers a sustainable alternative to traditional plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plasticizers, enhance PVC's properties while promoting sustainability across various industries due to health concerns.
- Are bio plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids. They are considered environmentally friendly due to their renewable nature and lower toxicity levels. Why Use Bio-Plasticizers?
- What are bio plasticizers?
- What are Bio-Plasticizers?
- Bio-Plasticizers are additives used in the production of plastics to improve flexibility, durability, and processability. Unlike conventional plasticizers that are petroleum-based, Bio-Plasticizers are sourced from natural materials such as vegetable oils, starches, and fatty acids.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- 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.
