Thermal and Dynamics Mechanical Analysis of Polypropylene
This research aims to investigate the effect of crude palm oil (CPO) as a plasticizer in polypropylene blown film on thermal and dynamic mechanical properties. Polypropylene (PP) was blended with 1, 3, and 5% of CPO using a twin screw extruder. The extruded samples were blown using the blown thin film technique.
Effect of Plasticizer and Concentration on
This study aimed to determine the effect of the plasticizer type and concentration on the bioplastics characteristics that was divided into several different concentrations of glycerol and
Influence of Weather and Purity of Plasticizer on Degradation
1. Introduction. Petroleum-based plastic is tough, light, flexible, versatile, moisture resistant and relatively inexpensive. These qualities have seen both its production and use rise to meet diverse human needs, ranging from packaging to electronic device components [1].
The Effect of Different Plasticizers on the Characteristics
This research aims to observe the physical characteristics of whey composite edible film with different plasticizer addition (glycerol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol). The research was conducted as a laboratory experiment and the observed variables were film thickness, tensile strength, elongation at break, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR
Characterization of bioplastic based from cassava crisp home
Cassava peel ( Manihot utilissima) is waste of agricultural result that is much potential as raw material of bioplastic making. This research focuses on bioplastic making from cassava peel. It aims to characterize the resulted bioplastic (mechanical and physical properties, SEM analysis, FTIR analysis and time test of bioplastic degradation).
- Does plasticizer type affect the equilibrium moisture content of films?
- Plasticizer type did not significantly affect the equilibrium moisture content of films. Sucrose added films were the most fragile at low RH, while GLY films were the most hygroscopic. However, at RH of 76–90%, sucrose films showed similar resistance compared to other plasticized films.
- What is the most widely used plasticizer in China?
- DOP is currently the most widely used plasticizer, ~70% of the total consumption of plasticizers. In China, the annual consumption is close to 1 million tons. In recent years, the medicine, food packaging, daily supplies, and toys industries have raised more stringent requirements to plasticizers.
- What is a reactive plasticizer?
- Learn more. This review is about the reactive plasticizer. Plasticizers are small molecules with low molecular weight. These compounds typically have an esteric structure. The plasticizers reduce the glass transition temperature, and the viscosity of the polymer also enhances the flexibility and processability of polymer materials.
- Which plasticizer is best for gelatin films?
- In terms of functional properties, GLY presented higher plasticizing effect and efficiency. Other plasticizers such as sucrose, oleic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, PEG, sorbitol, mannitol, EG, DEG, TEG, EA, diethanolamine (DEA) and TEA were also applied for gelatin films, modifying their mechanical and barrier properties.
- Are primary plasticizers good for Environmental Protection?
- Currently, the performance of primary plasticizers produced in China cannot fully satisfy the requirements for environmental protection, especially poor cleanliness and high toxicity. DOP and dioctyl adipate (DOA), especially the former, are the plasticizers widely used in PVC-based food wrap and packaging.
- What will China's plasticizer industry look like in the future?
- This will be the major task for Chinese plasticizer and soft PVC industries in the future. Phthalate plasticizers will still be the dominant type and production volume globally in the future, but those of long-chain (C 9 –C 10) alcohol-based esters and non-phthalate plasticizers will increase largely.
