Creating sustainable material from waste -- ScienceDaily
A team of researchers looking for ways to upcycle biomass into new products has demonstrated that it is possible to efficiently turn industrially processed lignin into high-performance plastics
- Which plasticizer has a strong migration resistance?
- Hyperbranched plasticizer has strong migration resistance due to its unique structure. Lactic acid-based plasticizers are a very cutting-edge direction that requires more research and development. These bio-based plasticizers can give PVC materials excellent thermal and mechanical properties under the premise of resistance to migration.
- Can polar groups improve plasticizer performance?
- Studies have shown that relatively more polar groups can improve the performance of plasticizers. Therefore, some researchers have used these existing groups to introduce extra polar groups on the castor oil molecular to make it more suitable for plasticizers [34, 35, 36, 37].
- Which plasticizers are used in stretch PVC films?
- Considering the tensile properties, all samples will probably show adequate performance when used as stretch PVC films with slight differences between them as follows: The plasticizers ATBC, DEHT and polyadipate showed lower plasticization efficiency than the others since samples 2, 4 and 6 showed the highest tensile strength values.
- Are plasticizers compatible with PVC?
- By analyzing the relationship between molecular structure and performance of plasticizers, researchers found that the presence of carbon–carbon double bonds and hydroxyl groups reduces the compatibility of plasticizers with PVC, while the epoxy groups and ester bonds can improve the plasticizing capability of plasticizers on PVC.
- What are PVC plasticizers?
- These films have a large amount of additives (plasticizers). There are around three hundred chemical substances that may be used as PVC plasticizers and approximately one hundred which are of commercial importance. Of these commercially important primary plasticizers, esters are the most commonly known and used.
- What is the global demand for plasticizers?
- Over the past 5 years, the global market demand for plasticizers has grown dramatically from 7990.5 kilotons in 2014 to 9965.5 kilotons in 2020, and this tendency may continue in the future . Phthalates were first appeared in 1920 and soon dominated the market of PVC plasticizers .
