Recent Developments of Biobased Plasticizers and Their Effect
Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
Research progress of novel bio-based plasticizers and their
Many bio-based PVC plasticizers, such as vegetable oil-based plasticizers, cardanol-based plasticizers, lactic acid-based plasticizers, waste cooking oil-based plasticizers, polyester plasticizers, hyperbranched plasticizers and so on, have been extensively studied.

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.
- Do biobased plasticizers affect packaging material performance?
- The synthesis of biobased plasticizers derived from renewable feedstocks and their impact on packaging material performance have been emphasized. Moreover, the effect of biobased plasticizer concentration, interaction, and compatibility on the polymer properties has been examined.
- Are bio-based plasticizers sustainable?
- Bio-based plasticizers, derived from renewable biomass sources like vegetable oils, cardanol, citric acid, starch, cellulose, and lactic acid, represent an environmentally sustainable class of plasticizers.
- Why are bio-based plasticizers important?
- The rapid technological development of bio-based plastics, such as PLA, polyhydroxyalkanoates, (PHA), bio-based epoxy resin and bio-based PE, has yet to be translated into significant market impact, primarily due to high production cost and performance limitations. Plasticizers are important additives and performance enhancers of polymers.
- Can bio-based plasticizers be made from biomass?
- Broadly speaking, there may be more suitable biomass renewable raw materials that can be used to prepare bio-based plasticizers, which still need to be explored and discovered by researchers in the future.
- What is the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications?
- In summary, the current state of bio-based plasticizers in PLA applications reflects rapid development and significant growth prospects. Future research should focus on bio-based plasticizers with synergistic effects such as plasticizing, toughening, antimicrobial, and anti-migration properties.
- Which plasticizers are used for bio-based plastics?
- Although a wide variety of bio-based plastics are under development, this review focuses on plasticizers utilized for the most extensively studied bioplastics including poly (lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, thermoplastic starch, proteinaceous plastics and cellulose acetates.
