Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
A novel environmental soybean oil‐based plasticizer, epoxidized glycidyl ester of soybean oil fatty acids (EGESOFa), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR),...
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
Effective, Environmentally Friendly PVC Plasticizers Based on
The development of environmentally friendly polymer additives (bioplasticizers) is driving the plasticizers market due to the increasing demand for eco-friendly products and provides safety for human health and the environment [ 16 ].
Interfacial effects of plasticizers on the properties
In this paper, eco-friendly plasticizers, such as glycerin (GL), diacetin (DA), triacetin (TA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are necessarily introduced. The plasticizing effect is evaluated by harmonic interface energy between CDA and plasticizer from contact angle test.
Effect of Green Plasticizer on the Performance
In this study, we present the development of eco-friendly biocomposites composed of polylactic acid (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), using melt extrusion and compression molding processe...

- Which plasticizer has the best mechanical properties?
- Of the plasticizers we synthesized, the best film mechanical properties were provided by OC plasticizer, containing primarily propylene glycol monoacetate, but also propylene glycol diacetate, acetic acid and propylene glycol in its mixture.
- What are the chemical properties of plasticizers?
- The chemical properties, such as acid value, iodine value, saponification value, ester value and water content were determinated for the plasticizers and are shown in Table 2. This values provide an additional confirmation for the occurrence of esterification and epoxidation reactions, respectively.
- 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 are alternative plasticizers?
- Alternative plasticizers are still being sought, including oils such as palm oil (Hasan et al., 2020), rosehip seed oil (Darie-Niță et al., 2021), epoxidized chia seed oil (Dominguez-Candela et al., 2021), epoxidized soybean oil (Alhanish & Abu Ghalia, 2021) olive oil or corn oil ( Giannakas et al., 2017) and fatty acids ( Srinivasa et al., 2007 ).
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer for biodegradable films?
- (Elsevier Ltd.) Biodegradable films were produced from blends contained a high amt. of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) plasticized with different adipate or citrate esters. It was not possible to obtain pellets for the prodn. of films using only glycerol as a plasticizer.
- How do plasticizers affect the physical properties of a polymer?
- Additionally, the incorporation of plasticizers into the polymer can affect some physical properties of the polymer such as the viscosity, degree of crystallinity, glass transition temperature (T g ), hardness, and density [15,35]. ... ...
