- What are bio-based plastics?
- Bio-based plastics include two types of plastics. The first is biomass plastics which are made from natural resources such as plants and the second is biodegradable plastics which are decomposed by enzymes in the natural environment.
- Are bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid sustainable?
- Research on bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid (PLA), an environmentally friendly and biodegradable polyester, has advanced due to the increasing focus on sustainable materials.
- What is a bio-based plasticizer for PLA?
- Common bio-based plasticizers for PLA on the market today include acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), tributyl citrate (TBC), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Among these, the Tg of PLA plasticized with 20 wt% TBC was found to decrease to 17.6 °C, while the elongation at break increased by a factor of 50.
- Are bio-based plastics a sustainable alternative to petroleum?
- Bio-based plastics have been attracting much attention as an alternative to replace petroleum with renewable resources and to develop sustainable society. Bio-based plastics include two types of plastics.
- Are bio-based plasticizers safe?
- Assessing environmental impacts and health risks associated with bio-based plasticizers will become increasingly important for ensuring safety. In summary, the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications reflects rapid development and significant growth prospects.
- What materials are used to make bio-based plasticizers for polylactic acid?
- The raw materials for the synthesis of bio-based plasticizers for PLA primarily include vegetable oils, citric acid, oleic acid, sebacic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid, cardanol, isosorbide, and other small molecules (Fig. 3).
