Professional R&D and excellent quality plasticizer chemicals

Starch is a sustainable polysaccharide with many existing and foreseen applications. Even if a plethora of routes have been described to plasticize it, e.g. with glycerol, sorbitol, and polyols, there remain major challenges related to retrodegradation, stability, and plasticizer leaching. Here we describe plasticization of starch using star-shaped molecules to combine the seemingly

The star-shaped plasticizer, a cyclic phosphazene having six covalently bound aminoethoxy ethanol side groups, was synthesized via nucleophilic substitution, and a series of films using rice starch and different weight fractions of the plasticizer were prepared by drop casting.
