New developments in vegetable oil materials science - AOCS
Vegetable oils are a mixture of unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds that act as reactive sites where the molecules can be chemically modified. Oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid contain one, two, and three double bonds, respectively.
Application of Different Vegetable Oils as Processing Aids
So far, the concept of a vegetable-oil-based plasticizer has been applied to rubber composites containing different industrially important fillers, like carbon black, silica, calcium carbonate, and expandable graphite.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
Still the world’s most widely used PVC plasticizer DINP, DIDP: High molecular weight ortho-phthalates Aliphatic dibasic acid Esters – These include chemicals such as glutarates, adipates, azelates and sebacates. They are made from aliphatic dibasic acids such as adipic acid and alcohols.
One-pot and industrial manufacturing of cardanol-based
Previously, we demonstrated that the flexible oxethyl units derived from polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether was more competent in improving the compatibility and plasticization of vegetable oil-base plasticizer than the traditional strategies including introducing more epoxy or carboxylic ester group (Tan et al., 2025b). Inspired by the
An efficient plasticizer based on waste cooking oil
The waste cooking oil was used as the main raw materials in this study to synthesize an efficient plasticizer (acetylated‐fatty acid methyl ester‐trimellitic acid ester, AC‐FAME‐TAE). The...
- Can vegetable oil based plasticizers be used for plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) materials?
- The use of vegetable oil based plasticizers can create new application for plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) materials. In this study, novel environmental castor oil based polyol esters (COPE-1, ECOPE-1, COPE-2 and ECOPE-2) were synthesized and characterized with FT-IR and 1 H NMR.
- What is epoxidized vegetable oil based plasticizer?
- Petroleum based plasticizer are standard compounding ingredients, however epoxidized vegetable oil-based plasticizer is employed as a feasible alternative [ 4 ]. Vegetable oils are derived from plants and are chemically composed of different triacylglycerols, i.e., esters of glycerol and fatty acids [ 5 ].
- Are vegetable oil based plasticizers sustainable?
- Vegetable oil based plasticizers have potential use as nontoxic and sustainable plasticizer and as replacements for commonly used phthalate plasticizers.
- Can Epoxidized vegetable oil be used as plasticizer to PLA?
- In this study, two types of epoxidized vegetable oils (EVO), which are the epoxidized palm oil (EPO) and mixture of epoxidized palm oil and soybean oil (EPSO), are used as plasticizer to PLA via melt blending technique.
- Are green plasticizers derived from soybean oil a renewable resource material?
- Correspondence to Meng Zhang or Yonghong Zhou. Jia, P., Zhang, M., Hu, L. et al. Green plasticizers derived from soybean oil for poly (vinyl chloride) as a renewable resource material.
- Can waste cooking oil be used as a plasticizer?
- This paper reported the preparation of a renewable plasticizer originated from waste cooking oil (WCO). The plasticizing effect of the developed material on the properties of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied.
