Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Natural plasticizers used in biodegradable films from biomass products (polysaccharide-, protein-, and lipid-based films) or other films obtained by extraction of micro-organisms. Refs. Soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) 6.1.

Bio-based plasticizers Vegetable oil-based plasticizers Vegetable oils such as soybean oil, peanut oil, castor oil, tung oil, palm oil and so on which are generally extracted from plant seeds and germ, are widely distributed in nature [ 26 ]. The main components of vegetable oil are straight-chain higher fatty acids and glycerides [ 27, 28, 29 ].
Toxicology and Biodegradability of a Phthalate-Free and Bio-Based Novel
Phthalate esters, mainly di-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP), represent a class of chemicals primarily used as plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride in a wide range of domestic and industrial applications. These phthalate esters are low-toxicity environmental contaminants. To address these drawbacks, POLYSORB® ID 37, a blend of diesters obtained from esterification of isosorbide with plant-based

Bioplasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
These results establish all four succinates as potentially bio-based sustainable alternatives to phthalate plasticizers. Succinates with shorter alkoxy chains dibutyl succinate and diethyl succinate showed lower plasticization efficiency.
- 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.
- 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.
- Are bio-based plasticizers safe?
- The toxicological tests showed the median lethal dose of the plasticizers LD 50 > 5 g/kg, indicating the safety of the plasticizers. Some other bio-based plasticizers are also worthy of attention. Howell et al. synthesized four esters/ethers derived from tartaric acid.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- Why are phthalate plasticizers becoming bioplasticizers?
- Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to bioplasticizers in the plastic industry. Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste.
- Is linoleic acid a bio-based plasticizer?
- In this study, an eco-friendly bio-based plasticizer, ALCE with excellent migration resistance was synthesized using linoleic acid (LA) and cinnamyl alcohol (CA) from biomass. The composition of ALCE was characterized and confirmed using FTIR and 1 H NMR.
