Current Status of Plasticizer Research | SpringerLink
In 2017, in his presentation titled “Technological Innovations and Market Dynamics of Environmentally Friendly Plasticizers Suitable for Uses in PVC Paste Industry” at the 9th JinLianChuang Plasticizer Product Chain Market Summit and Trade Fair, Dr. Pingping Jiang pointed out that phthalate plasticizers have become a public concern since the Taiwan Plasticizer Incident occurred.
New Plasticizers based on Alternative Raw Materials
BASF – Plasticizers – Toys. A long-standing and fruitful relationship Plasticizers are used to make plastic softer and more flexible. There has been a need for plasticizers ever since PVC (polyvinyl chloride) was patented in 1913. In its unmodified state, PVC is rigid and brittle. Plasticizers are used to make the material soft and flexible.
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...

Fully Renewable, Effective, and Highly Biodegradable Plasticizer: Di- n
The ubiquitous environmental presence of industrial plasticizers such as di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and the known health and environmental impact has created a need to develop truly...
- Are plasticizers environmentally friendly?
- Four environmentally friendly plasticizer samples were obtained; their chemical structures and compositions were confirmed by gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (FT–IR) analyses, and their physicochemical properties and thermal stability (TGA analysis) were investigated.
- How are plasticizers characterized?
- The produced plasticizers were characterized by GC, TGA, FTIR, and physicochemical properties. Their plasticizing performance was mainly evaluated by the analysis of physicochemical properties, mechanical properties, and plasticizer migration of the soft PVC samples and was compared with those of the commercial plasticizers DINP and DEHP.
- Can esters provide a green alternative to toxic phthalate plasticizers?
- The ester mixture that was found to be the most favorable plasticizer was characterized by good thermal and thermo-oxidative stability (5% weight loss temperature: 227.8 °C in air and 261.1 °C in nitrogen). The results of the research clearly indicate that the synthesized esters can provide a green alternative to toxic phthalate plasticizers. 1.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
