Lactide-derived ester oligomers for highly compatible poly(lactide
Interesting elastomeric behaviors were observed and then evidenced by stress relaxation moduli (2.4–9.8 MPa) and small residual strains (7–17%) after recovery tests, respectively. These results suggest that the ALO series can be practical “double green” and “dual performance” plasticizers for PLA.
Polymers | Special Issue : Green Plasticizers for Polymers - MDPI
The scope of this issue ranges from synthesis of green plasticizers, enhancement of physical and rheological properties, migration of plasticizers upon disposal, relationships between plasticizers and human health, and life-cycle-assessment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the design and evaluation of new green plasticizers, using the
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...

- Are recycled cellulose fibers a potential reinforcement for high performance biodegradable polymer composites?
- (TGA) showed that the presence of cellulose fibers did not significantly affect the crystallinity, or the thermal decompn. of PLA matrix up to 30 wt% cellulose fiber content. Overall it was concluded that recycled cellulose fibers from newsprint could be a potential reinforcement for the high performance biodegradable polymer composites.

- Which plasticizer is best for food contact?
- (31−36)Among them, citrate ester-based plasticizers are widely used because of their good miscibility with the PLA and their biocompatibility, ideal for food contact applications. (32,34,37)Specifically, to improve the mechanical properties of the PLA, TEC, a nontoxic, eco-friendly, and natural plasticizer, has been widely used. (37−42)
- Which plasticizer is used to improve the mechanical properties of PLA?
- (32,34,37)Specifically, to improve the mechanical properties of the PLA, TEC, a nontoxic, eco-friendly, and natural plasticizer, has been widely used. (37−42) In recent years, natural cellulosic fibers have been combined with polymers for the production of low-cost and high-performance materials.
- Is adipate a good plasticizer?
- The new environmentally friendly plasticizer has good compatibility with PVC and high thermal stability. The effectiveness of the plasticizing action of adipate based on the glass-transition temperature was 132.2 °C in relation to pure PVC and 7.7 °C in comparison to compounds based on DOP.
- Do biobased plasticizers affect packaging material performance?
- The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized. Moreover, the effect of biobased plasticizer concentration, interaction, and compatibility on the polymer properties has been examined.
