Synthesis and Properties of Isosorbide-Based Eco-friendly Plasticizers
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to introduce isosorbide di epoxidized oleate as a green plasticizer for PVC processing. Here, isosorbide was esterified with a series of fatty acids, and the isosorbide diester plasticizer with short alkyl chain length showed high compatibility with PVC.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal bioplasticizers are expected to be...

Synthesis and Properties of Isosorbide-Based Eco-friendly Plasticizers
An esterified isosorbide with long alkyl-chain length was epoxidized to enhance its plasticizing properties and enable low-cost production; the high epoxidation degree (91%) indicated efficient...
- Are plasticizers biodegradable?
- Plasticizers are additives used to ensure flexibility to polymer blends and thereby to increase their processability. As the typical plastic component phthalates and other fossil-based components contribute environmental issues since such compounds are not biodegradable.
- What is plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)?
- Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing.
- Which plasticizer has a strong migration resistance?
- Hyperbranched plasticizer has strong migration resistance due to its unique structure. Lactic acid-based plasticizers are a very cutting-edge direction that requires more research and development. These bio-based plasticizers can give PVC materials excellent thermal and mechanical properties under the premise of resistance to migration.
- Could liquefied wood flour derived plasticizer be a biobased polylactide plasticizer?
- CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that the synthesized liquefied wood flour derived plasticizer could have great potential as a biobased polylactide plasticizer. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry PDF | Plasticizers are chemical additives added into polymers to influence desirable mechanical properties such as processability and ductility.
- Is there a bio-based plasticizer for poly (vinyl chloride)?
- Feng G, Hu L, Ma Y, Jia P, Hu Y, Zhang M, Liu C, Zhou Y (2018) An efficient bio-based plasticizer for poly (vinyl chloride) from waste cooking oil and citric acid: synthesis and evaluation in PVC films.
- Are epoxidized vegetable oils renewable and environmentally friendly alternatives?
- Therefore, epoxidized vegetable oils have gained high research interest as renewable and environmentally friendly alternatives with various industrial applications such as plasticizers, lubricant base oils, surfactants, etc. (Armylisas et al., 2017).
