Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
The plasticizers produced have been applied in 60 polymers and more than 30 groups of products. Industrially, the most common plasticized polymers are PVC, poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB), poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc), acrylics, cellulose molding compounds, nylon, polyamides and certain copolyamides.
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...
A New Industrial Revolution for Plastics | USDA
There’s a new kind of plastic in town 30 years later – bioplastics. Biobased bioplastics are plastics made from renewable resources – agricultural feedstocks such as corn, soybeans, or sugarcane. The starches, oils, and sugars from these feedstocks are extracted, modified, and used as the chemical building blocks for these new bioplastic
- Which plasticizers are used for bio-based plastics?
- This review focuses on plasticizers utilized for bio-based plastics. Although a wide variety of bio-based plastics are under development, this review focuses on the most extensively studied bioplastics including poly(lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, thermoplastic starch, proteinaceous plastics, and cellulose acetates.
- What is a bio-based plasticizer for PLA?
- Common bio-based plasticizers for PLA on the market today include acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), tributyl citrate (TBC), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Among these, the Tg of PLA plasticized with 20 wt% TBC was found to decrease to 17.6 °C, while the elongation at break increased by a factor of 50.
- Do biobased plasticizers affect packaging material performance?
- The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized. Moreover, the effect of biobased plasticizer concentration, interaction, and compatibility on the polymer properties has been examined.
- Is there a biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation?
- Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
- Are bio-based plasticizers sustainable?
- Bio-based plasticizers, derived from renewable biomass sources like vegetable oils, cardanol, citric acid, starch, cellulose, and lactic acid, represent an environmentally sustainable class of plasticizers.
- 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).
