Developments of biobased plasticizers
The development and utilization of biobased plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil, castor oil, cardanol, citrate, and isosorbide have been broadly investigated. The synthesis of...
A Strategy for Nonmigrating Highly Plasticized PVC
Nonmigrating highly plasticized PVC was prepared based on a new compound that acts as a plasticizer that was derived from di (2-ethylhexyl) 4-hydrophthalate and chlorinated paraffin-52. The...
Combining Renewable Eleostearic Acid and Eugenol to
In this study, two kinds of sustainable plasticizers (eleostearic acid eugenol ester (EAEE) and epoxidized EAEE) were synthesized to plasticize PVC films using eleostearic acid and eugenol. Compared to EAEE, PVC plasticized with epoxidized EAEE showed more flexible and thermal stability.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
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),...
Internally Plasticized PVC by Four Different Green Plasticizer
Various efforts for producing more eco-friendly plasticizers have been carried out by using biobased sources such as diester succinates, which display better biodegradation behavior and...
- Can ether be used as a plasticizer?
- The structure of the obtained compound was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Studies of the compatibility of the obtained compound with PVC showed the possibility of using it as a plasticizer: the critical temperature of polymer dissolution in ether is 101 °C compared to that for DOP, which is 112.5 °C.
- Are green plasticizers derived from soybean oil a renewable resource material?
- Jia, P.; Zhang, M.; Hu, L.; Zhou, Y. Green plasticizers derived from soybean oil for poly (vinyl chloride) as a renewable resource material. Korean J. Chem. Eng. 2016, 33, 1080–1087. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- What are plasticizers based on?
- Plasticizers based on other acids are known and used [ 41 ], for example, citrates [ 42 ], but the cost of their production is much higher [ 43 ]. Esters of succinic acid are a renewable resource, which makes them an attractive promising starting material for industrial production [ 44 ].
