  • Does plasticizer content affect melt viscosity and thermal properties of PHB?
  • The effect of plasticizer content on the melt viscosity, thermal properties (DSC), spectral characteristics (ATR-FTIR), tensile properties and water permeability was investigated in order to improve the processability and properties of PHB. . DSC results of PHB/plasticizer blends Sample code T c ( o C) T m ( o C) H f (J/g) X c (%)
  • Do plasticizers affect melting temperature?
  • Furthermore, presence of plasticizers can also alter different characteristics within the crystalline regions, as crystallite size and, accordingly, the melting temperature (Tm). In fact, a depression of Tm has been described in previous investigations [8, 9].
  • Can plasticizers reduce material degradation over time?
  • The design of new plasticizers compatible with the polymer at high concentrations, tailored to be effective in lowering the glass transition temperature, and with a low tendency to migration could considerably reduce material degradation over time.
  • Does plasticizer affect the crystallization rate of PLA?
  • A content of 10 wt.% in TOTM has been chosen for this study, both without and with MCM-41 silica, based on the results attained in our previous investigation and in order to reach a good compromise between the amount of plasticizer and the effect on the crystallization rate of PLA (and on the actual crystallization window).
  • How does molecular weight affect plasticization efficiency?
  • The molecular weight (Mw), number hydroxyl group units, shape of molecules of plasticizers affects the plasticization efficiency . It was reported that in the literature low Mw plasticizers were more efficient than the high one [40, 41].
  • How does plasticizer affect permeability of biodegradable films?
  • The addition of PEG and SOR to the PVA/CA film affected the permeability differently. The addition of PEG decreased WVP of PLAST-0 the film by 14%, while the addition of SOR increased by 90% in the same amount. The increasing of WVP of biodegradable films with the addition of plasticizer has been reported in different studies [22, 35, 37].
