  • How does temperature affect plasticizer migration kinetics?
  • The presence of this thin film of plasticizer that cannot easy evaporate due to the low temperature, limits the kinetic of plasticizer migration (the system will be evaporation-controlled). It is obvious that the concentration of plasticizer and the operative temperature will strongly influence the migration kinetics.
  • Which kinetics migration modes dominate plasticizer loss?
  • However, it must be pointed out that two kinetics migration modes dominate the plasticizer loss: the diffusion mode (above mentioned) and the evaporation mode [ 23 ]. Considering only the one-dimensional problem in the x-direction (similarly to Equation (5)), the evaporation condition can be described by the mass balance [ 54, 63 ]
  • What causes plasticiser migration in biopolymers?
  • Studies have shown that the migration behaviour of plasticiser in biopolymers is often complex. This is caused by: (i) cold crystallisation during service/ageing, (ii) phase separation between the plasticiser and the polymer, and (iii) hydrolysis and interactions with water.
  • Does operative temperature affect plasticization kinetics?
  • It is obvious that the concentration of plasticizer and the operative temperature will strongly influence the migration kinetics. Zhang et al. [ 65] demonstrated for a PLA system plasticized with acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC) that the ATC migration increases with the increasing of ambient temperature.
  • Do plasticisers migrate from polymers to a gas phase?
  • This paper addresses the kinetics and predictions of plasticiser migration from polymers to a surrounding gas phase, an important issue for plastic and rubber products exposed to high service temperature conditions and during accelerated ageing and testing.
  • How does plasticizer migration affect the quality and effectiveness of PVC?
  • The migration of plasticizers is a key factor that impacts the quality and effectiveness of the PVC, and the mass loss due to plasticizer migration in different environments is shown in Fig. 8.
