The effect of poly(ethylene glycol) as plasticizer in blends
Overall, it was found that PEG acted as an effective plasticizer for the PLA phase in these microphase-separated blends, increasing the elongation at break in all blends and decreasing the Tg of the PLA phase. Significant effects on other properties were also observed.
Plasticizing effect of poly(ethylene glycol)s with different
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a common plasticizer and emulsifier used to reduce crystallinity and improve the mechanical properties of PLA/starch [43]. PEG is among the most applicable...

Poly(Ethylene Glycol) as a Compatibilizer for Poly(Lactic
Poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic starch/poly(ethylene glycol) blends were prepared by melt extrusion and the efficiency of PEG as a compatibilizer was evaluated. In the absence of PEG, phase separation in PLA/TPS blends was observed through the presence of domains, with a low adhesion between the phases, which was responsible for the poor
- Can low molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol) be used as a plasticizer?
- This study investigates the use of low molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a plasticizer for poly (lactic acid) (PLA). PLA/PEG blend films were prepared using the solvent casting method with varying mixing ratios.
- Does peg act as a plasticizer for the PLA phase?
- Overall, it was found that PEG acted as an effective plasticizer for the PLA phase in these microphase-separated blends, increasing the elongation at break in all blends and decreasing the Tg of the PLA phase. Significant effects on other properties were also observed.
- Can poly (ethylene glycol) modify the 3D printed polylactide (PLA) part?
- This study presents an in-depth characterization and analysis of the effect of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) having molecular weight 6000 g/mol used with various concentrations (1%,3%,5%) to modify the 3D printed Polylactide (PLA) part.
- Is polyethylene glycol a good plasticizer?
- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is one of the most efficient plasticizers for PLA because of its excellent biocompatibility, dispersibility, high mobility, non-toxicity, and hydrophilicity (Ucpinar Durmaz and Aytac, 2021).
- Does poly (epsilon-caprolactone)-b-poly (ethylene glycol) block copolymers?
- Compatibilization effect of poly (epsilon-caprolactone)-b-poly (ethylene glycol) block copolymers and phase morphology analysis in immiscible poly (lactide)/poly (epsilon-caprolactone) blends
- How does peg lubrication affect crystallinity of PLA/peg blends?
- Crystallinity degree of PLA/PEG blends as function of PEG content. The decrease of Tg and Tcc, along with the increase in Xc as the plasticizer level increased, were attributed to the improved molecular chain mobility of PLA resulting from the lubricating effect of PEG.
