"Green" nanocomposites from cellulose acetate bioplastic and clay
"Green" nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated from cellulose acetate (CA) powder, eco-friendly triethyl citrate (TEC) plasticizer and organically modified clay. The effect of the amount of plasticizer varying from 15 to 40 wt % on the performance of the nanocomposites has been evaluated.
Effect of Green Plasticizer on the Performance of Microcrystalline
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 processes. In all the studied samples, the PLA/MCC ratio was always 1:1, whereas the plasticizer triethyl citrate (TEC) was responsible for the improved dispersion of the MCC in PLA. Tensile tests proved
Effectiveness of triacetin and triethyl citrate as plasticizer
The main objective of this work was to investigate the applicability of two natural based plasticizers (triacetin (TRI) and triethyl citrate (TEC)) in two polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with similar molecular weight but different hydrolysis degree (88% and 99%). The PVA and plasticizers were mixed by solvent blending method and the PVA solution was
- Can glycerol and triethyl citrate improve plasticizer effect?
- This work aimed to optimize the plasticizer effect of glycerol (GLY) and triethyl citrate (TEC), in different concentrations (1.8, 3.6, 5.4, and 7.2 mol), added into the CA. The films were characterized using mechanical strength tests, FTIR, TGA, SEM, and various other analysis technologies.
- Can glycerol and triethyl citrate be used as packaging materials?
- Although promising the use of CA as packaging, this material requires the addition of processing aids, such as plasticizers. This work aimed to optimize the plasticizer effect of glycerol (GLY) and triethyl citrate (TEC), in different concentrations (1.8, 3.6, 5.4, and 7.2 mol), added into the CA.

- Does plasticizer triethyl citrate improve ductility and crystallinity?
- In all the studied samples, the PLA/MCC ratio was always 1:1, whereas the plasticizer triethyl citrate (TEC) was responsible for the improved dispersion of the MCC in PLA. Tensile tests proved that the developed biocomposites containing TEC show improved ductility and crystallinity, as confirmed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) study.
- Which plasticizers are suitable for biodegradable film?
- Biodegradable film was prepared from Cellulose Acetate (AC). Glycerol and triethyl citrate were added as plasticizers. The effects of the type and concentration of plasticizers were investigated. Physical properties of AC film were significantly affected by plasticizers. Glycerol and triethyl citrate are suitable plasticizers for AC film.
- Can citrus fruit waste be used as a plasticizer?
- To avoid this issue, use of citrus fruit waste for the production of citric acid (CA) is one of viable mean to obtain value added chemicals. Moreover, synthesis of triethyl citrate (TEC), a non-toxic plasticizer by esterification of CA with ethanol over heterogeneous catalyst would be renewable and sustainable catalytic process.
