Recent Developments of Biobased Plasticizers and Their Effect
Effects of modified tributyl citrate as a novel environmentally friendly plasticizer on the mechanical property and migration stability of soft polyvinyl chloride. Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology 2025 , 28 (4) , 751-761.
Effects of Plasticizers on Mechanical Properties, Oxygen
Tensile strength and elastic modulus of films were decreased when adding plasticizers, whereas elongation at break were increased. Therefore, it caused an increase in oxygen permeability of...
Effect of Selected Commercial Plasticizers on Mechanical
Mechanical, thermal properties, and shape stability (warping effect) of 3D printed products can be improved just by the addition of appropriate plasticizer to polymeric blend. The goal was to create new types of eco-friendly PHB/PLA/plasticizers blends and to highly improve the poor mechanical properties of neat PHB/PLA blends (with majority of

Plasticizers – Benefits, Trends, Health, and Environmental
Plasticizers soften the PVC to make it flexible and bendable. This opens up a huge range of possibilities for new applications. One of the main benefits of plasticizers is the durability they confer onto PVC applications, which can ensure high performances for up to 50 years.
- 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.
- Do plasticizers affect the performance of starch films?
- J. Tarique et al. reported that different plasticizer concentrations had an impact on the physical, structural, mechanical, thermal and barrier characteristics of plasticized films; the inclusion of plasticizers improves the performance of starch films as a whole. Similar findings were recently reported by other researchers .
- Which plasticizer is used to plasticize PVA resin with a DP of 2400?
- In this study, two types of frequently used plasticizers, glycerol (GLY) and diethanolamine (DEA), are chosen to plasticize PVA resin with a DP of 2400. Both PVA/plasticizer films possess excellent optical transmittance and mechanical ductility, whereas the films blended with DEA exhibit higher strength than the PVA/GLY films.
- Do plasticizers affect oxygen permeability?
- As a result, for each plasticizer, the composite oxygen permeability tends t o be different. Glycerol film shows the best oxygen barrier property, PG film experiences a moderate OP values, and PEG 400 film has the highest OP values. These results is consistent with other reports on the effect of plasticizers types on natural – based films.
- Do plasticizers increase tensile strength and elongation at break?
- HPMC/BW composite films incorporated with 2% of plasticizers formed films with the best characteristics among three tested concentration. Tensile strength and elastic modulus of films were decreased when adding plasticizers, whereas elongation at break were increased.
- Do plasticizers affect HPMC/BW properties?
- This paper conducted studying on the impacts of plasticizers to HPMC/BW properties. The plasticizers were used in this research included Glycerol (G), Propylene Glycol (PG), and Polyethylene Glycol 400 (PEG 400) which had the concentration changed in range of 1-3%.
