- Do biobased plasticizers affect packaging material performance?
- The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized. Moreover, the effect of biobased plasticizer concentration, interaction, and compatibility on the polymer properties has been examined.
- Why are bio-based plasticizers important?
- The rapid technological development of bio-based plastics, such as PLA, polyhydroxyalkanoates, (PHA), bio-based epoxy resin and bio-based PE, has yet to be translated into significant market impact, primarily due to high production cost and performance limitations. Plasticizers are important additives and performance enhancers of polymers.
- Which plasticizers are used for bio-based plastics?
- Although a wide variety of bio-based plastics are under development, this review focuses on plasticizers utilized for the most extensively studied bioplastics including poly (lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, thermoplastic starch, proteinaceous plastics and cellulose acetates.
- Is there a biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation?
- Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
- 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 the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications?
- In summary, the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications reflects rapid development and significant growth prospects. Future research should focus on bio-based plasticizers with synergistic effects such as plasticizing, toughening, antimicrobial, and anti-migration properties.
