Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Natural plasticizers used in biodegradable films from biomass products (polysaccharide-, protein-, and lipid-based films) or other films obtained by extraction of micro-organisms. Refs. Soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) 6.1.
Recycling of waste poly(vinyl chloride) fill materials to produce new
Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is one of the most commonly used plastics and its main applications include pipes, electric wires, window profiles, siding, etc. Recently, wood fiber reinforced PVC is becoming more popular because of its acceptable mechanical properties, moisture and fungus resistance, long lifetime, wood-like surface performance, and recyclability [9].
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...
The Influence of Environmentally Friendly Plasticizer on the Bio
the global market share recently, wood plastic composites (WPCs) are emerging asgreen composite materials that combine the advantages of wood and thermoplastics, for example, long-term...
Why Are Wood Plastic Composites (WPC) the Green Building Alternative?
Wood plastic composites (also known as WPC) combine qualities uniquely suited to accommodating both domestic and commercial preferences in the construction market. They are the ideal green sustainable solution that makes use of organic material with virgin, recycled or renewable plastics, normally High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
- What are natural biodegradable plasticizers?
- Natural biodegradable plasticizers can be isolated from the agro products and litters that are cost-effective, sustainable, and huge abundant. Several natural plasticizers originate from agricultural products like trees, oleaginous plants, cereals, vegetables, and fruits, as well as their waste .
- Can wood plastic composites be made from recycled PE waste?
- The current manuscript established an inexpensive as well as sustainable approach for fabricating wood plastic composites from recycled PE waste as binding matrix and agricultural waste such as modified sunflower waste as filled materials through a biological unusual procedure designated as a green eco-friendly, and economic method.
- What are wood–plastic composites (WPCs)?
- Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are crucial and promising engineering wood products that have been widely utilized in various fields. WPCs are primarily composed of wood fibers and thermoplastic polymers [1, 2, 3, 4], such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene (PS) [1, 5, 6, 7].
- Can natural fiber plastic composites reduce environmental pollution with agricultural and plastic waste?
- This study deals with the production of natural fiber plastic composites (NFPCs) to reduce environmental pollution with agricultural and plastic waste.
- Can high-performance and high-value green plastics contribute to a circular economy?
- This study demonstrates that high-performance and high-value green plastics made from various recycled materials can contribute to the goals of a circular economy and sustainable carbon reduction. 1. Introduction Wood–plastic composites (WPCs) are crucial and promising engineering wood products that have been widely utilized in various fields.
- What are biodegradable thermoplastics & plasticizers?
- To overcome these problems, researchers began to focus on biodegradable thermoplastics and plasticizers. Plasticizers is a highly branched polysaccharide stored in plants as an alternative to currently used non-biodegradable plasticizing compounds.
