Effect of glycerol plasticizer loading on the physical
Among the plasticizing agents, glycerol has been used as a plasticizer to produce starch-based films because of its compatibility with amylose 50, which stimulates better mechanical properties...
Effect of glycerol and sorbitol concentrations on
The results show that increasing the plasticizer concentration from 10 to 50% increased WVP values from 116.0% for glycerol-plasticized films and 87.8% for sorbitol-plasticized films (see Fig. 6). The highest WVP of glycerol-plasticized films has been reported in starch-gelatin film [59], oat starch film [60], and potato starch films [61].
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Plasticizers are an important class of low molecular weight non-volatile compounds that are widely used in polymer industries as additives [1]. The primary role of such substances is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature, the glass transition temperature ( Tg ).

- What is glycerol trilevulinate plasticizer?
- This study presents the fully bio-based and versatile glycerol trilevulinate plasticizer (GT) that was obtained by the valorization of glycerol and levulinic acid. The mild-conditions and solvent-free esterification used to synthesize GT was optimized by investigating the product by Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopy.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer?
- This study showed that the control AS films were brittle, fragile, and not peelable from the Petri dishes. Hence, the incorporation of glycerol as a plasticizer to AS film-forming solutions led to a decrease in the brittleness, fragility, and increase flexibility and peel ability of AS films.
- Can glycerol be a plasticizer for hydrophilic packaging industry?
- Owing to its hygroscopicity and low volatility, glycerol is competent to be a plasticizer for hydrophilic packaging industry , . The hydrophilic polymers include but are not limited to aliphatic polyester resin, acrylics, PLA, polyurethane, polyvinyl esters, cellulose derivatives, and so on.
- What is elongation of bioplastic film with different glycerol (plasticizer) content?
- Elongation of bioplastic film with various glycerol (plasticizer) content. film. Elongation of bioplastic films are 16.4% (15 wt%), 34.8% (20 wt%), 59.2% (25 wt%), and 66% (30 wt%). elongation of bioplastic film by 18.4%. With 10% film increased by 42.8%. And 15% increase of plasticizer 49.6%. This shows that with the addition of 1.2 mL sh arply.
- How glycerol affect tensile strength and elongation of bioplastic?
- The microalgae were mixed with polyvinyl and maleic anhydride as compatibilizer to strengthen the bond between the microalgae and polymer. Glycerol was added as plasticizer to increase the flexibility. Observation was carried out on tensile strength and elongation of bioplastic with a variation of 15, 20, 25, and 30 wt% of glycerol content.
- Is glycerol a plasticizer for arrowroot starch films?
- Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative This research was set out to explore the development of arrowroot starch (AS) films using glycerol (G) as plasticizer at the ratio of 15, 30, and 45% (w/w, starch basis) using solution casting technique.
