Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Abstract Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been widely used in the world. Petroleum-based plasticizers especially phthalates have been the most common plasticizers used in PVC. However, the global petroleum resources are becoming scarce gradually, and the hygienic requirements for plasticizers are increasing. Owing to the negative impact of petroleum-based plasticizers on human health

- 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.
- 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). Fig. 3. Origin and structural composition of bio-based plasticizer molecules designed for polylactic acid.
- 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.
- Can a plant be used as a bio-based plasticizer?
- Short alkyl group esters demonstrated excellent plasticizing behavior, with minimal migration to the film surface in water. Extracts of many plants from natural sources have been used as bio-based plasticizers. Water soluble extracts (WSE) were acquired from banana pseudostem (BPS) by employing an uncomplicated and reliable deconstructive method.
- Are vegetable oils a good feedstock for bio-based plasticizers?
- The composition of vegetable oils is predominantly characterized by long-chain saturated and unsaturated fatty alkanes, as well as triglycerides. These constituents demonstrate excellent degradability and non-toxic attributes, establishing them as optimal feedstocks for bio-based plasticizers .
