Biobased plasticizers synthesized from carbohydrate derived bis (hydroxymethyl)furan found to show low migration, thermal stability and good plasticizing effect in PVC [49]. Renewable...
Biobased Plasticizers from Carbohydrate-Derived 2,5-Bis
As potential replacements for phthalate plasticizers, a series of esters of biobased 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan has been synthesized and fully characterized using spectroscopic and thermal methods. These materials are fully compatible with PVC and display a good plasticizing effect, comparable to that of common phthalate plasticizers.

- Which biobased precursors are used to make plasticizers?
- A great variety of other biobased precursors have been used for the generation of plasticizers . Prominently among these have been cardanol [19 – 21] (a byproduct of cashew nut processing), tartaric acid [22 – 25] (a byproduct of winemaking) and derivatives of starch, isosorbide [26, 27] and the furanics [28 – 32].
- Are plasticizers made from biomaterials?
- Some, including those prepared from plant oils, have been generated from biomaterials themselves. However, the more numerous and generally more effective have been generated from discrete compounds produced from various biomaterials. Several structural features of effective plasticizers have been recognized.
- Which phthalate is used as a plasticizer?
- Traditionally, phthalate esters, most prominently, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [DEHP], have been used as plasticizers. DEHP is produced from two inexpensive precursors, phthalic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. Phthalic acid is obtained from the oxidation of o -xylene, the least useful of the mixed xylenes from the reforming of naphtha .
- Are organic bioplasticizers sustainable?
- Conventional plasticizers are derived from petroleum, which can cause harm to the environment and human health. As a result, organic bioplasticizers derived from renewable resources have gained attention as a sustainable alternative.
- What is a nonmigrating plasticizer?
- Most prominently, hyperbranched oligomeric esters derived from the readily available, renewable, nontoxic biomonomers, glycerol and adipic acid, are excellent nonmigrating plasticizers. These materials may be produced in a simple process.
- What are the structural features of effective plasticizers?
- Several structural features of effective plasticizers have been recognized. Polar functionality is required to assure compatibility with a wide range of polymeric materials, including poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), the most heavily plasticized polymer. A branched structure greatly enhances the effectiveness of compounds used as plasticizers.
