Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
The synthesis route of epoxidized castor oil-based ester is shown in Scheme 1. They added these prepared plasticizers to PVC as the main plasticizer and compared their plasticizing properties with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP).
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...
Microwave‐assisted preparation of fatty acid esters based eco
The extent of plasticizer migration from the polymeric matrix was less than that of diethylhexylphthalate, the reference plasticizer. The antibacterial activity of the two prepared thiazoles, their functionalized PVC samples, and PVC blended with the prepared thiazoles was tested against Gram+ve and Gramve bacteria as well as Candida

- Can bio-based plasticizers be synthesized by epoxidizing erucic acid fatty acid methyl ester?
- In this study, a bio plasticizer was synthesized by epoxidizing erucic acid fatty acid methyl ester. The final product was compared to a conventional plasticizer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was used to confirm the structures of bio-based plasticizers (1 H NMR).
- Can bio-based plasticizers be synthesized by modifying fatty acids?
- In this study, bio-based plasticizers were synthesized by modifying fatty acids with very user-friendly approaches. Esterification and epoxidation were used to synthesize bio-based plasticizers in two steps. The synthesized plasticizer is blended with PVC in various amounts and compared to dioctyl phthalate (DOP).
- What are bio-based plasticizers?
- Bio-based plasticizers may be produced from agricultural by-products and wastes, including cardanol derivatives, starches, cellulose, citric acid, and bio-based waste, which are renewable, abundant, and economical resources. The majority of them have been employed as raw materials in the production of plasticizers [3, 22].
- Can fatty acid esters replace PVC plasticizers?
- This research study will help in the replacement of traditional PVC plasticizers such as citrates and phthalates with fatty acid esters, a green plasticizer that lacks a benzene ring. The main synthetic route is shown in Fig. 1.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- Can biobased plasticizer be used as a heat stabilizer?
- The plasticizing effect of single biobased plasticizer is not good. Biobased plasticizer with synergistic effects is required. There exists the trade-off effect between the molecular weight and the compatibility. Epoxidized isosorbide ester can be used as a heat stabilizer. The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
