Plasticizer Selection for Elastomers Although majority of plasticizers are used in flexible PVC applications, a significant amount of plasticizers are used for elastomer applications. Plasticizers can be added to elastomers for various reasons: increasing softness or flexibility, lowering the glass transition temperature, reducing
Lactide-derived ester oligomers for highly compatible poly
Interesting elastomeric behaviors were observed and then evidenced by stress relaxation moduli (2.4–9.8 MPa) and small residual strains (7–17%) after recovery tests, respectively. These results suggest that the ALO series can be practical “double green” and “dual performance” plasticizers for PLA.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal bioplasticizers are expected to be...
Plasticizer Selection for Elastomers - Chemceed
Plasticizers can be added to elastomers for various reasons: increasing softness or flexibility, lowering the glass transition temperature, reducing crystallization, increasing dispersion, or lowering the cost of the compound. Common plasticizers used in elastomer compounds are mineral oils and esters such as phthalates, sebacates, and adipates
Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate
This page is DIC (formerly Dainippon Ink and Chemicals) 'Environmentally-friendly PVC Plasticizers (Non-phthalate Plasticizers)'. DIC is working to develop plasticizers (non-phthalate) that accommodate usage restrictions for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and food utensils, containers and packaging, and toys. Examples of major applications and representative product numbers of non-phthalate
- Are plasticizers biodegradable?
- Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based components contribute environmental issues since such compounds are not biodegradable.
- Which plasticizer is used to improve the mechanical properties of PLA?
- (32,34,37)Specifically, to improve the mechanical properties of the PLA, TEC, a nontoxic, eco-friendly, and natural plasticizer, has been widely used. (37−42) In recent years, natural cellulosic fibers have been combined with polymers for the production of low-cost and high-performance materials.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer for biodegradable films?
- (Elsevier Ltd.) Biodegradable films were produced from blends contained a high amt. of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) plasticized with different adipate or citrate esters. It was not possible to obtain pellets for the prodn. of films using only glycerol as a plasticizer.
- What are biodegradable thermoplastics & plasticizers?
- To overcome these problems, researchers began to focus on biodegradable thermoplastics and plasticizers. Plasticizers is a highly branched polysaccharide stored in plants as an alternative to currently used non-biodegradable plasticizing compounds.
- Are there alternative plasticizers?
- There are a considerable number of alternative plasticizers in employment, without any toxicological data available (dibutyl adipate, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, to name a few).
- What are green nanocomposites made of?
- (American Chemical Society) "Green" nanocomposites were successfully fabricated from cellulose acetate (CA) powder, eco-friendly tri-Et citrate (TEC) plasticizer and organically modified clay. The effect of the amt. of plasticizer varying from 15-40% on the performance of the nanocomposites was evaluated.
