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
Handbook of Plasticizers - 3rd Edition
Description. Handbook of Plasticizers, Third Edition, is an essential professional reference, providing information that enables R&D scientists, production chemists, and engineers the information they need to use plasticizers more effectively, and to avoid certain plasticizers in applications where they may cause health or material durability
Plasticizer
A plasticizer ( UK: plasticiser) is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible, to increase its plasticity, to decrease its viscosity, and/or to decrease friction during its handling in manufacture.
Determination of plasticizers efficiency for nylon by
Plasticizers are incorporated in the amorphous parts of polymers while the structure and size of any crystalline part remains unaffected [ 2 ]. Plasticizer efficiency is defined as a measure of the concentration of plasticizer required to impart a specified softness to a polymer [ 2 ]. Plasticizer efficiency is greatly influenced by structural
- Are biopolymers a good substitute for conventional plasticizers?
- The use of natural and/or biodegradable plasticizers, with low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubber and elastomers in substitution of conventional plasticizers, such as phthalates and other synthetic conventional plasticizers attracted the market along with the increasing worldwide trend towards use of biopolymers.
- What are plasticizers & how do they work?
- Plasticizers are non-volatile organic substances (mainly liquids) added into a plastic or elastomer. They are also usually cheaper than other additives. They improve the following properties of the polymers: Plasticizers increase the flow and thermoplasticity of a polymer.
- What is a plasticizer chemistry?
- Plasticizers are the most used additives in the plastics industry. They are generally available as non-volatile, colorless liquids. They improve the properties of the polymer. With several plasticizer chemistries available in the market choosing the right one can be daunting. In this guide, you will read more about:
- Can plasticizers be used to make plastic products?
- The use of plasticizers for plastic products manufacture is not a new practice. Its application to modify polymer characteristics began in the 1800s. In these early days, manufacturers of celluloid or celluloid lacquers used natural camphor and castor oil for plasticization purposes, but these were unsatisfactory for many end uses.
- Can bio-based plasticizers replace conventional plastic goods?
- The challenge to implement this new class of natural-based plasticizers matches the increasing interest of material researchers and industries in new bio-based materials, made from renewable resources with the potential, not to totally replace but to reduce the use of conventional plastic goods.
- What are plasticizers & superplasticizers?
- In the concrete technology, plasticizers and superplasticizers are also called high range water reducers. When added to concrete mixtures, they confer a number of properties including improved workability and strength. The strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the amount of water added, i.e., the water-cement (w/c) ratio.
