Effect of glycerol plasticizer loading on the physical
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
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Most commonly used phthalate plasticizers include: DEHP: Low molecular weight ortho-phthalate. Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates.
Plasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Specialist plasticisers include phosphates for fire retardancy, polymeric plasticisers (low migration) and some newer ‘non-phthalate’ plasticisers such as citrates, benzoate esters, alkyl sulphonic phenyl esters (Mesamoll), di-isononyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (Hexamoll DINCH) and biobased plasticisers (e.g. Grindsted Soft-n-Safe).

What Plasticizers Do & How They Affect Properties | Osborne
Posted May 17, 2025. Plasticizers are non-volatile chemical solvents used throughout the plastics industry to increase such properties as flexibility, pliability, durability, longevity, biodegradability, and extensibility in polymers. When added to a plastic or elastomer, plasticizers affect the properties of the material without fundamentally
- 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 for polylactic acid sustainable?
- Research on bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid (PLA), an environmentally friendly and biodegradable polyester, has advanced due to the increasing focus on sustainable materials.
- Do Plasticizers improve tensile strength and elongation of PLA films?
- The mechanical properties of the PLA film were significantly improved by the plasticizers, with the tensile strength and elongation at break of PLA-7% GT increasing from 0.44 MPa to 1.32 % to 1.08 MPa and 12.53 %. Moreover, the presence of these plasticizers markedly increased the enzymatic degradation rate of PLA films.
- 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 .
- What materials are used to make bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid?
- The raw materials for the synthesis of bio-based plasticizers for PLA primarily include vegetable oils, citric acid, oleic acid, sebacic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, cardanol, isosorbide, and other small molecules (Fig. 3). Fig. 3. Origin and structural composition of bio-based plasticizer molecules designed for polylactic acid.
- Which plasticizer has the best plasticizing efficiency?
- It's worth noting that PSCH has the best plasticizing efficiency attributed to the C–Cl bond on the side. According to the similar compatibility principle, except for hydrogen bonding, the existence of C–Cl bond in PSCH increases the compatibility of plasticizer and PVC.
