Developments of biobased plasticizers for compostable
The development and utilization of biobased plasticizers derived from epoxidized soybean oil, castor oil, cardanol, citrate, and isosorbide have been broadly investigated. The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized.
- Can biobased plasticizers be used for packaging applications?
- This fact has stimulated new regulations requiring the replacement of synthetic conventional plasticizers, particularly for packaging applications. Biobased plasticizers have recently been considered as essential additives, which may be used during the processing of compostable polymers to enormously boost biobased packaging applications.
- Does plasticizer affect opacity?
- FTIR spectra indicate that there are some molecular interactions by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PLA and citrate esters. The effect of the concentration of plasticizer on the opacity of the films was negligible. Chemical structure of: (A) triethyl citrate (TEC) and (B) acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC).
- What is a plasticizer for poly(lactic acid) (PLA)?
- Triethyl citrate (TEC) and acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) were used as plasticizer for poly (lactic acid) (PLA). The treated and plasticized PLA at various concentrations were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and opacity.
- Which compounds are used as plasticizers in PLA formulations?
- Numerous low M w compounds such as citrate esters , polyadipates , epoxidized oils [18,19], poly ethylene glycol [20,21], lactic acid oligomers etc. were used as plasticizers in PLA formulations. Majority of plasticizer used in polymer industry, are synthesized using petrochemicals and synthetic raw materials. ... ...
- Do biobased plasticizers affect polymer properties?
- Moreover, the effect of biobased plasticizer concentration, interaction, and compatibility on the polymer properties has been examined. Recent developments have resulted in the replacement of synthetic plasticizers by biobased counterparts. Particularly, this has been the case for some biodegradable thermoplastics‐based packaging applications.
- Which polymers Cizer in PVC resins?
- Compostable polymers cizer in PVC resins. However, these polymers still requiring certain strength, and softness. This is usually accomplished based on biobased plasticizer mechanism, interaction, and reactivity. BioSA, citric acid, biobased plasticizer.
