Effect of various plasticizers and concentration on the physical
The present study investigated the effects of plasticizers (fructose, urea, tri‐ethylene glycol, and triethanolamine) with different concentrations on the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of cassava‐starch‐based films. The film samples were prepared using casting methods.

Effect of Various Plasticizers in Different Concentrations on Physical
Biocomposite materials are essential for environmental protection, as they have the ability of substituting synthetic plastic with natural materials. This work investigated how different plasticizers (Glycerol (G), Fructose (F), Sorbitol (S), and Urea (U)) affect the morphological, mechanical, thermal, and physical characteristics of films made of wheat starch at various concentrations (0%, 15
Effect of Various Plasticizers in Different Concentrations on Physical
At 35% of all plasticizers, fructose showed the highest tensile strength, with 7.6 MPa. The addition of different plasticizers shows improvement in water resistance; films plasticized with...
Effect of glycerol plasticizer loading on the physical, mechanical
This research was set out to explore the development of arrowroot starch (AS) films using glycerol (G) as plasticizer at the ratio of 15, 30, and 45% (w/w, starch basis) using solution casting
- Does plasticizer type affect chitosan/Zein film rheological and structural properties?
- The chitosan/zein film with PEG-400 exhibited superior properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of plasticizer type (glycerol, PEG-400, and sorbitol) and concentration (0%, 15%, 30% and 45%, w /w dry polymer weight) on rheological and physico-mechanical and structural properties of chitosan/zein blend film.
- Do plasticizers affect the structural and physical properties of curdlan edible films?
- Conclusions This study investigated the effects of various plasticizers—glycerol (GLY), ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PRO), xylitol (XY), sorbitol (SOR), and polyethylene glycol (PEG)—on the structural and physical properties of curdlan (CL) edible films.
- Does plasticizer concentration affect permeability of chitosan/Zein films?
- The permeability of films increased significantly with the increase of plasticizer concentration, but the C/ Z -P film (plasticized chitosan/zein film with PEG-400) had better barrier performance compared with the other two. The C/ Z -P film had better mechanical properties and light transmission.
- Do plasticizers reduce surface hydrophobicity of Cl films?
- The addition of plasticizers reduces the surface hydrophobicity of CL films due to the hydrophilic nature of the plasticizers, which increases the film’s affinity for water. The distinct trend in the CA of PRO-containing films may result from their lower WVP compared to XY- and EG-containing films, leading to higher hydrophobicity.
- Do plasticizers affect the crystallinity index?
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD) To study the effect of different plasticizers in various concentrations on the crystallinity index, an XRD test was conducted. Figure 6 shows the crystalline peaks of plasticized wheat starch films. It shows that plasticized films have a lower crystallinity than the control film.
- 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 .
