Biobased Plasticizers from Tartaric Acid: Synthesis and Effect
The results showed that all these TA esters exhibit good plasticizing performance. At a concentration of 30 phr in PVC, the best results for the plasticizing effect, in terms of glass transition...
Thermal and mechanical properties of bio-based plasticizers
In this work, we evaluated the effect of six types of plasticizers (dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl adipate, Lestarflex (a polymeric polyester plasticizer), poly-caprolactone, polyester polyol, and 1,2
Effect of Modified Cardanol as Secondary Plasticizer on Thermal and
improve the compatibility of the plasticizer with PVC.5,25 The biobased cardanol oil isolated from cashew nut shell liquid can act as an epoxy curing agent and as a plasticizer.2631 The use of cardanol as the primary or secondary plasticizer can enhance the exibility and thermal stability and decrease the volatility of
- 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.
- Can biobased plasticizer replace phthalates?
- Biobased plasticizers with low toxicity are expected to replace certain phthalates. 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.
- 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.
- Are cardanol- and isosorbide-based plasticizers a promising material?
- Among a variety of newly developed biobased monomers, cardanol, and isosorbide are the two most promising materials because of their unique structural features. This review summarizes the research progress of cardanol- and isosorbide-based plasticizers with synergistic effects of plasticization, thermal stabilization, and anti-migration.
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- Are bioplasticizers biodegradable?
- Bioplasticizers are less synthetic chemicals and are biodegradable. In wire applications, the use of bioplasticizers was able to reduce carbon emissions by up to 40%. Plasticizers are the most common plastic additives. The production of plasticizers from vegetable oils is slowly replacing the plasticizers produced by petroleum products.
