Epoxidized Jatropha Oil as a Sustainable Plasticizer to Poly
The kernel seed of the jatropha plant contains the most valuable oil, consisting of 40% by weight of triacylglycerol with linear fatty acid chains. This high oil content indicated that the jatropha plant is suitable as a feedstock for plasticizer production.
Epoxidized Jatropha Oil as a Sustainable Plasticizer to Poly
A renewable resource, epoxidized jatropha oil (EJO), was used as a green plasticizer and added to poly (lactic acid) (PLA). EJO was compounded into PLA at different contents. The addition of 3 wt % EJO to the PLA demonstrates significant improvement in flexibility, which leads to a percentage increase of about 7000% in elongation at break.

Bioplastic from Renewable Biomass: A Facile Solution for a
A new green one-step water-based process was proposed to convert vegetable wastes into biodegradable bioplastic films having similar mechanical properties with other bioplastics (Perotto 2018 ).
