Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Plasticizers are an important class of low molecular weight non-volatile compounds that are widely used in polymer industries as additives [1]. The primary role of such substances is to improve the flexibility and processability of polymers by lowering the second order transition temperature, the glass transition temperature ( Tg ).
Effect of glycerol plasticizer loading on the physical
Among the plasticizing agents, glycerol has been used as a plasticizer to produce starch-based films because of its compatibility with amylose 50, which stimulates better mechanical properties...
Highly Flexible Polylactide Food Packaging Plasticized with
Polylactide (PLA) is a promising biosourced and biodegradable polymer substitute for traditional petroleum-based products. Despite its recognized potential, its widespread adoption is restricted by...

The effect of glycerol addition as plasticizer
The results show that the optimum plasticizer composition for this S. platensis-based bioplastic film was 30 wt%, which shows the tensile strength at 27.7 kgf/cm2 and elongation at 66%. The...
Effect of Glycerin as Plasticizer in Formulation of Grape
The formulas were made in five various glycerin concentrations. Evaluation of organoleptic and the other physical characteristics were observed for 4 weeks at two temperatures (25 °C and 40 °C). Elongation and tensile strength tests were also evaluated due to the role of glycerin as a plasticizer.
- Is glycerol a plasticizer for arrowroot starch films?
- Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative 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 technique.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer?
- This study showed that the control AS films were brittle, fragile, and not peelable from the Petri dishes. Hence, the incorporation of glycerol as a plasticizer to AS film-forming solutions led to a decrease in the brittleness, fragility, and increase flexibility and peel ability of AS films.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer for starch films?
- In order to modify starch films properties the addition of various plasticizers is used. Commonly as a plasticizer water and glycerine is used. In this work, we use glycerol derivatives as a modern plasticizers for constant thickness and 20 cm length. The inf luence of the ratio of various plasti cizers: glycerol, free energy was investigated.
- What is elongation of bioplastic film with different glycerol (plasticizer) content?
- Elongation of bioplastic film with various glycerol (plasticizer) content. film. Elongation of bioplastic films are 16.4% (15 wt%), 34.8% (20 wt%), 59.2% (25 wt%), and 66% (30 wt%). elongation of bioplastic film by 18.4%. With 10% film increased by 42.8%. And 15% increase of plasticizer 49.6%. This shows that with the addition of 1.2 mL sh arply.
- Are glycerol derivatives a modern plasticizer?
- plasticizer water and glycerine is used. In this work, we use glycerol derivatives as a modern plasticizers for constant thickness and 20 cm length. The inf luence of the ratio of various plasti cizers: glycerol, free energy was investigated. The plasticizers selecte d by us are characterized by a large number of functional hydroxyl groups.
- Can glycerol be a plasticizer for hydrophilic packaging industry?
- Owing to its hygroscopicity and low volatility, glycerol is competent to be a plasticizer for hydrophilic packaging industry , . The hydrophilic polymers include but are not limited to aliphatic polyester resin, acrylics, PLA, polyurethane, polyvinyl esters, cellulose derivatives, and so on.
