  • Which organic plasticizers are used for plasticization of biopolymers?
  • Organic plasticizers for the plasticization of biopolymers include phthalate esters (e.g., di-isononyl phthalate, DINP, di-isodecyl phthalate, DIDP, and dioctyl phthalate, DOP) [ 21 ]; however, the use of phthalates is now restricted due to their toxicity and migration into the environment [ 22 ].
  • Can plasticizers be used for biodegradable polymers?
  • With the use of plasticizers, biopolymers could be modified to meet a wide range of specifications, such as elongation at break. Plasticizers for biodegradable polymers should, first of all, be compatible with the biopolymer, exhibit high thermal stability, and, at the same time, be non-volatile during and after thermal processing.
  • Is Perstorp a breakthrough in non-phthalate plasticizers?
  • Perstorp, based in Malmö, terms the development “a significant advancement in non-phthalate plasticizers.” It says the additive –– with its innovative chemical composition –– sets a new benchmark in the industry of flexible PVC.
  • Are Gly-based plasticizers effective in food packaging?
  • (34) Marić et al. have recently synthesized GLY-based plasticizers for application in the food packaging field. They have studied the variations of plasticization efficiency modifying both the length and branching of alkyl side chains. (35)
  • How do plasticizers affect material properties?
  • When plasticizers are incorporated into a material, they embed between the polymer chains and disrupt intermolecular forces, thereby changing properties such as the brittleness/flexibility balance, strength, and barrier properties of the material.
  • How does plasticizer migration affect a product?
  • Plasticizer migration can also affect a product’s performance, decreasing its flexibility and causing material embrittlement. This can lead to poor mechanical properties and affect other additives in the product, such as UV stabilizers, antioxidants, and coloring pigments, also affecting the material’s aesthetic appearance.
