Highly toughened poly (lactic acid) blends plasticized by
In recent decades, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) was widely applied in the package material field owning to its high strength, biodegradability and bio-source nature [1], [2]. Meanwhile, plasticizing modification of PLA was extensively implemented to overcome its inherent brittleness [3], [4]. Cardanol as a green plasticizer derived from cashew nut
Cardanol derivatives as innovative bio-plasticizers for poly
Cardanol derivatives have been proven to be efficient plasticizers for poly-vinylchloride PVC [18]. Cardanol is an industrial grade oil obtained by vacuum distillation of ‘‘cashew nut shell liquid’’ (CNSL), which represents a by-product of cashew nut shell industry.

Thermal analysis of poly(lactic acid) plasticized by cardanol
Cardanol is an industrial grade oil obtained by vacuum distillation of ‘‘cashew nut shell liquid’’ (CNSL), which represents nearly 25% of the total nut weight, and its worldwide availability is estimated to be about 300,000 tons per year.

- Are cardanol derivatives suitable for plasticizer synthesis?
- Having been already proven to be a compatibilizer agent with PLA, notably for PLA-ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) mixtures,75,76 PLA-PBAT (polybutylene adipate- co -terephthalate) 77 or PLA-bamboo, 78 cardanol derivatives appear to be relevant candidates for plasticizer synthesis for PLA.
- Is cardanol acetate a plasticizing agent of poly (lactic acid)?
- This work is aimed to study the suitability of a bio based compound, cardanol acetate (CA), as plasticizing agent of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). Compared to other natural derived plasticizers, cardanol acetate is not obtained from food crops but as a by product of cashew nut extraction.
- Is cardanol acetate a natural derived plasticizer?
- Compared to other natural derived plasticizers, cardanol acetate is not obtained from food crops but as a by product of cashew nut extraction. In addition, the cardanol derived plasticizers can be obtained by the use of non toxic and low environmental impact reagents.

- Can cardanol ester be used as a secondary plasticizer?
- The plasticizing properties are significantly enhanced when used as a secondary plasticizer. Therefore, it shows promising potential as a secondary plasticizer when combined with phthalates or epoxidized bio-sourced oils. To further investigate cardanol ester as plasticizers, various lengths of aliphatic chains have been studied.
- Can phenyl ether of cardanol be used as a secondary plasticizer?
- Phenyl ether of cardanol has been synthesized and used as a secondary plasticizer with DEHP (2 : 1) for PVC materials (Fig. 9). For 40 and 50 phr content of the plasticizer, the use of this plasticizer decreases the Young's modulus and hardness compared to DEHP alone.
