Effects of molecular design parameters on plasticizer performance
We focus on the effects of plasticizer molecular structure on its performance, as measured by performance metrics including its thermodynamic compatibility with PVC, effectiveness of reducing the material's Young's modulus, and migration rate in the PVC matrix.

Plasticizers. Plasticizers ensure elasticity and flexibility of polymer materials. But this is not their only benefit. Plasticizers also optimize, for example, the processing properties of polymer materials, which leads to improved product quality or even new properties. The choice of plasticizers depends on the demand placed on the finished
Energetic Polymers: Binders and Plasticizers for Enhancing Performance
This up-to-date overview provides the latest information on the performance, sensitivity, strength and processability aspects of propellants and explosive formulations, with the nature of polymer binder/plasticizer as the variable factor. Apart from applications, this monograph explores the principles behind energetic polymers, while discussing the synthetic routes and energetic
Plasticizer
Plasticizers for polymers are either liquids with low volatility or solids. According to 2017 data, the total global market for plasticizers was 7.5 million metric tonnes.
- Which polymers are plasticized?
- The plasticizers produced have been applied in 60 polymers and more than 30 groups of products. Industrially, the most common plasticized polymers are PVC, poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB), poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc), acrylics, cellulose molding compounds, nylon, polyamides and certain copolyamides.
- Can plasticizers reduce material degradation over time?
- The design of new plasticizers compatible with the polymer at high concentrations, tailored to be effective in lowering the glass transition temperature, and with a low tendency to migration could considerably reduce material degradation over time.
- Which plasticizer has a good plasticizing efficiency?
- Both plasticizers provided a satisfactory plasticizing efficiency, such as DEP, due to their low viscosity and ease of diffusion into CA, which enables a large processing window and increases the material's flexibility. CA with 30 wt% GTA displayed a slightly higher elastic modulus than CA with 30 wt% GDA (E = 2.1 GPa and 1.9 GPa, respectively).
- Why are plasticizers important in biopolymer-based films & coatings production?
- In biopolymer-based films and coatings production, plasticizers are also essential additives since they can improve flexibility and handling of films, maintain integrity and avoid pores and cracks in the polymeric matrix .
- Which plasticizer is best for gelatin films?
- In terms of functional properties, GLY presented higher plasticizing effect and efficiency. Other plasticizers such as sucrose, oleic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, PEG, sorbitol, mannitol, EG, DEG, TEG, EA, diethanolamine (DEA) and TEA were also applied for gelatin films, modifying their mechanical and barrier properties.
- What types of plasticizers are used in hydrophilic polymers?
- In addition to water, the most commonly used plasticizers are polyols, mono-, di- and oligosaccharides. Polyols have been found to be particularly effective for use in plasticized hydrophilic polymers .
