Effects of bio-based plasticizers on mechanical and thermal
The effects of plasticizers on the mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and melt rheological properties of composites and the thermal migration of plasticizers were characterized. The results demonstrated that WPVC/ DBP and WPVC/EFAME composites had better elongation at break; however, composites with bio-based plasticizers exhibited significantly
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
On the other hand, these new bio-based plasticizers can also ameliorate mechanical and thermal properties of PVC like traditional plasticizers, and are eco-friendly, low priori toxic and resistant to migration. Thus, preparing high performance bio-based plasticizers will still be a research hotspot in this field for a long time.
Influence of Bio-Based Plasticizers on the Properties
Bio-based plasticizers were shown to have better mechanical and thermal properties compared to conventional plasticizers. Further, thermo-oxidative aging was realized for 500 h, and...
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Plasticizers are chemical additives added into polymers to influence desirable mechanical properties such as processability and ductility. These properties are a result of the association 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.
- What are biodegradable plasticizers?
- Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV .
- Can bioplasticizers improve the processing properties of rubber compounds?
- Addition of the bioplasticizer strongly improve the processing properties of the rubber compounds. Desirable mechanical properties and thermal stability can be achieved by adding the bioplasticizers in rubber compounds. Rubber-filler interaction, plasticizing efficiency, and cross-linking density decide the tensile strength of the polymer matrix.
- 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.
- Is there a biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation?
- Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
