Effect of inert plasticizers on mechanical, thermal, and sensitivity
Both inert and energetic plasticizers have involved propellant and explosive formulations to improve process parameters, mechanical properties, and even insensitivity properties of them. Isodecyl pelargonate and dioctyl adipate are the most preferred inert plasticizers in polyurethane based thermoset propellant and explosive formulations.

The Effect of Concentration and Type of Plasticizer on the Mechanical
142 Recent Advances in Plasticizers Plasticizers are often inert organic compounds with low molecular weight, high boiling points and low vapor pressures that are used as polymer additives. The main role of the plasticizer is to improve mechanical properties of the polymers by increasing flexibility,

- Do plasticizers soften thermomechanical properties?
- The effect of the different single-component plasticizers (glycerol, propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate) on the mechanical and dynamic thermomechanical properties of the films were studied. Moreover, the softening effect of the two-component plasticizer based on deep eutectic solvents (DESs) was addressed.
- Does humidity affect the performance of plasticizers?
- Based on the dynamic mechanical analysis at varying humidity, the performance of plasticizers was strongly attributed to the humidity. The DES based on tetrabutylammonium bromide and propylene carbonate was most efficient at providing thermoformability to the composite by lowering the thermal softening temperature.
- Which Plasticizers improve elongation at break properties of biocomposites?
- HEC was used as a continuous matrix to introduce formability properties, whereas different plasticizers were studied to further improve the elongation at break properties of biocomposites. Glycerol, propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate were studied as single-component plasticizers.
- What are plasticizers used for?
- Plasticizers are commonly low molecular weight chemicals that can interfere with the hydrogen bonding ability of cellulose biocomposites, resulting in higher elongation properties. In addition, plasticizers can be used to convert non-thermoformable materials into thermoplastic.
- Do Plasticizers make biocomposites more responsive to humidity?
- Even though the results obtained by DMA at different humidity levels were slightly inconclusive, and further studies should be conducted, there was evidence that the addition of plasticizers made the biocomposites more responsive towards humidity.
- Can Plasticizers improve the ductility of cellulose-based biocomposites?
- The ductility of cellulose-based biocomposites can be improved by adding plasticizers. Plasticizers are commonly low molecular weight chemicals that can interfere with the hydrogen bonding ability of cellulose biocomposites, resulting in higher elongation properties.
