  • Are polyols a plasticizer?
  • Santana and Kieckbusch investigated the effects of polyols (glycerol (G), xylitol (X), and mannitol (M)) as plasticizers on WVP and the physical and mechanical properties of alginate-based films.
  • How does the type of plasticizer affect biopolymer properties?
  • The type of plasticizer can strongly affect the barrier properties, water uptake, and mechanical properties of the biopolymer.
  • Are plasticizers harmful?
  • However, in some cases, adding plasticizers may lead to some undesirable and unexpected effects. Segregation phenomenon (phase separation), anti-plasticization effects, leaching, migration, and evaporation from the surface are the unwanted problems associated with plasticizers.
  • Do plasticizers affect alginate-based films?
  • To the best of our knowledge, reviews in this regard are very rare in the literature. Some reviews on the effect of plasticizers are about improving the flexibility of the most common biopolymers such as PLA and starch [10, 11], but there is no dedicated article focusing the effect of plasticizers on alginate-based films, in particular.
  • Should a plasticizer be added to a film-forming solution?
  • Accordingly, adding a plasticizer to the film-forming solution is essential to increase the flexibility of the final product . However, the incorporation of the plasticizer can lead to poor mechanical properties and low thermal stability.
  • How does plasticizer affect the rigidity of a polymer?
  • With low amounts of plasticizer, the free volume of the amorphous region increases slightly, and consequently, the number and size of the crystallites increase as a result of a new redistribution of the configurations in the structure. Accordingly, the rigidity of the polymer is promoted by the inclusion of less plasticizer [38, 109].
