Current Status of Plasticizer Research | SpringerLink
Benzoate-based plasticizers made from C 8 –C 12 alcohols have the following exceptional properties: (1) comprehensive plasticization performance with small side effects; (2) good compatibility with most synthetic resins and rubbers; (3) low release leading to high stability; (4) high resistance to heat and weather, low volatility, good low-temperature flexibility, low extraction, no tendency
Superplasticizer
Superplasticizers ( SPs ), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used in making high strength concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds that enable the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer by decreasing the viscosity of the polymer melt, the glass transition temperature (Tg), the melting temperature (Tm) and the elastic modulus of the finished product without altering the fundamental chemical character of the plasticized material.
Plasticizer
A plasticizer ( UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture.
Effects of molecular design parameters on plasticizer performance
Abstract. Using all-atom molecular simulation, a wide range of plasticizers for poly (vinyl chlorid) (PVC), including ortho- and tere-phthalates, trimellitates, citrates, and various aliphatic dicarboxylates, are systematically studied. We focus on the effects of plasticizer molecular structure on its performance, as measured by performance
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
- What is performance Plast Cizer?
- icizer (GP). If the plasticizer contributes to improve one or two key properties of the plasticized material, improving the performance obtained with the addition of a GP, it is called performance plast -cizer (PP). If the plasticizer imparts properties beyond those conferred by the GP and the PP, it is called specialty plas
- What are high-performance plastics?
- High-performance plastics are plastics that meet higher requirements than standard (commodity) or engineering plastics. They are more expensive and used in smaller amounts.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- What is a synonym for high-performance plastics?
- There are many synonyms for the term high-performance plastics, such as: high temperature plastics, high-performance polymers, high performance thermoplastics or high-tech plastics.
- What are plasticizers & superplasticizers?
- In the concrete technology, plasticizers and superplasticizers are also called high range water reducers. When added to concrete mixtures, they confer a number of properties including improved workability and strength. The strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the amount of water added, i.e., the water-cement (w/c) ratio.
