Interactions between microplastics, pharmaceuticals and
The extensive use of PPCPs has led to their ubiquitous presence in the environment resulting in their cooccurrence with microplastics. The partitioning between plastics and PPCPs and their fate through vector transport are determined by various physicochemical characteristics and environmental conditions of specific matrices.
Influence of Plasticizers on the Properties of Natural
The present paper reports about the effect of the plasticizers on the performance of natural rubber (NR) and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) used in tyre applications. The influence of the
Influence of plasticizers on the properties of NBR materials
The aim of the study is to find out the influence of four different plasticizers before and after aging on the compatibility and the properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR). The
Ecotoxicity of the Adipate Plasticizers: Influence of the
It is known that the industrial plasticizer dioctyl adipate is characterized by reduced toxicity and a short biodegradation period. The paper describes the synthesis of a number of new asymmetric esters based on adipic acid and ethoxylated butanol by azeotropic esterification. The receipt of the products was confirmed by IR spectra.

- Do sustainable plasticizers affect acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber properties?
- The study aimed to determine the influence of these sustainable plasticizers on the properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR). For comparison, the influence of conventional plasticizers, e.g., treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE) and Mesamoll ® were additionally investigated.
- Can natural plasticizers be used in polymer applications?
- The use of natural plasticizers with low toxicity and good compatibility in several polymer applications has become more attractive. In this study, a natural plasticizer was synthesized in the laboratory by esterification of rice fatty acids and polyols. The resulting product was added to PVC and natural rubber latex films (5% w/w).
- 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 .
- Does plasticizer type affect the equilibrium moisture content of films?
- Plasticizer type did not significantly affect the equilibrium moisture content of films. Sucrose added films were the most fragile at low RH, while GLY films were the most hygroscopic. However, at RH of 76–90%, sucrose films showed similar resistance compared to other plasticized films.
- Can -lactoglobulin films be plasticized with different plasticizers?
- The addition of combined plasticizers (GLY and PEG) can modify the mechanical properties and water vapor permeability . β-Lactoglobulin films were plasticized with different plasticizers (PG, GLY, sorbitol, PEG 200, PEG 400 and sucrose) aiming at improving the mechanical properties.
- Does a natural plasticizer work in polyvinylchloride and natural rubber latex films?
- The present study evaluated the performance of a natural plasticizer in polyvinylchloride (PVC) and natural rubber latex films. This natural plasticizer was synthesized in laboratory by esterification reaction of rice fatty acids and polyols. 2. Experimental 2.1. Materials
