Plasticizer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
One major use of plasticized PVC is automotive underbody coatings; these products are highly filled plastisols that are commonly based upon GP plasticizers often with a fast-fusing plasticizer added to improve processability.

- What makes a polymer a good plasticizer?
- It is nowadays established that good plasticization implies secondary bonds, also known as intermolecular forces, with the polymer. The attraction between plasticizer molecules and the polymer must be as strong as the interactions between molecules in the single components to generate an efficient polymer-plasticizer interaction.
- Do plasticizers increase polymers' flexibility at room temperature?
- Disentanglement of CA chains is favored at higher plasticizer content under extensional flow, yielding lower melt strength and higher melt extensibility . These observations confirm that plasticizers increase polymers' flexibility at room temperature and can be used as processing aids.
- How does a plasticizer interact with a polymer?
- In CA, plasticizer-polymer interactions begin with the mixing step: the plasticizer first wets the polymer particles and then diffuses and solvates the amorphous domains of the polymer thanks to externally added heat (e.g., heating jacket on the mixer) or heat generated internally by the friction between macromolecules.
- Do opaque films have a compatibility between plasticizer and polymer?
- Opaque films usually reveal scarce compatibility between the plasticizer and the polymer : butyl chains increase apolarity of the plasticizer molecule and decrease the affinity with CA.
- Is a high-performance epoxy vitrimer suitable for structural composite applications?
- The present article introduces a high-performance epoxy vitrimer to target structural composite applications. By utilizing a reactive diluent derived from biobased feedstock, the maximum glass transition is tailored to maintain a sufficient temperature window for reprocessing, avoiding the degradation of permanent bonds.
- What are plasticizer characteristics?
- Plasticizer characteristics determine not only the compatibility but also the amount which can be added to the polymer while ensuring the thermodynamic stability of the mixture. Thermodynamic stability means the absence of plasticizer exudation at temperature changes, mechanical stresses, and pressure.
