"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
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly Bioplasticizers
Citrate plasticizers have good miscibility, biodegradable, resistant to leaching and water and have legal use as additives. The demand for bioplasticizers is reported to increase from 887...
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
“Green” biocomposites based on cellulose
"Green" nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated from cellulose acetate (CA) powder, eco-friendly triethyl citrate (TEC) plasticizer and organically modified clay and showed better intercalation and an exfoliated structure than the counterpart having 30/40 wt % plasticizers. 234 View 1 excerpt, references background

- 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.
