Solubility of Plasticizers, Polymers and Environmental Pollution
The maximum amount of plasticizer incorporated into a polymer at the processing temperature and retained by it without exudation during storage is commonly accepted as the practical limit of...
Solubility of Plasticizers, Polymers and Environmental Pollution
It means that the difference between solubility parameters of compatible polymer and plasticizer should be less than approximately 4 MPa 0.5. For example, PVC having a δ value of 21.4 MPa 0.5 is compatible with DBP, DEHP and ditridecyl phthalate over the whole range of concentration.
Reducing environmental plastic pollution by designing polymer
The majority of global plastics consists of polymers with carbon–carbon backbones, whose environmental persistence and low cost have resulted in a massive reservoir of plastic waste that resides

Thermodynamics, Solubility and Environmental Issues
The unifying theme is Solubility – the most basic and important of thermodynamic properties. This informative book looks at the importance and applications of solubility and thermodynamics, in understanding and in reducing chemical pollution in the environment.
- Do plasticizers covalently bond to polymeric chains?
- An approach that has recently been of great interest to researchers is the use of reactive plasticizers. In this approach, plasticizers covalently bond to the polymeric chains and prevent migration. Chapter 22.

- Are water soluble plastics harmful to the environment?
- An increased use of water-soluble plastics could also introduce unanticipated environmental hazards. Therefore, excessive use of water-soluble plastics in applications where they can enter the environment should be discouraged.
- Should water soluble plastics be banned?
- Therefore, excessive use of water-soluble plastics in applications where they can enter the environment should be discouraged. Often the plastics can be omitted or replaced by natural polymers with lower risks.
- What is the market value of water soluble plastics & polymers?
- Water-soluble plastics and polymers represent a rapidly expanding class of materials, both in volume and diversity. The global consumption of water-soluble polymers is around 8.78 Mtons (2019), and the global market value is 33.37 billion USD (2022) (Skyquest, 2024).
- How can plasticizers reduce migration?
- Various strategies, such as increasing molecular weight of plasticizer, selection of oligomeric structure for plasticizer, and adding nanoparticles of minerals, have been investigated to reduce and eliminate migration. An approach that has recently been of great interest to researchers is the use of reactive plasticizers.
- Are emerging plasticizers a regrettable substitution?
- This review compiles available data on toxicity, exposure, environmental effects, and safe production of emerging plasticizers. It identifies gaps in scientific research and provides evidence that emerging plasticizers are potential cases of regrettable substitution.
