  • What are the latest advances in polymer additives?
  • More specifically, recent advances in antimicrobial, antioxidants, thermal stabilizers, processing aids, plasticizers and other polymer additives are reviewed and classified in terms of sources and polymer application.
  • Are bio-based polymer additives sustainable?
  • One of the pillars of “green” innovation in the field of polymer additives is the use of bio-based building blocks for the design of sustainable and performing compounds, exploiting the benefits of plentiful, renewable feedstocks while magnifying their intrinsic value via chemical modification , .
  • What is the cumulative leaching of additives from plastic polymers during aging?
  • Bridson et al. (2023) evaluated the cumulative leaching of additives from three plastic polymers (polyethylene terephthalate < polyamide 6 < polyethylene) during aging, and reported values ranging from 0.009 to 1162 μg/g (64 days).
  • How many plastic additives are there?
  • Currently, there are approximately 10,000 chemicals classified as plastic additives (Wiesinger et al., 2021), which are commonly classified into the four categories of plasticizers, flame retardants, stabilizers, and antimicrobials (Carmen, 2021).
  • How many bio-based additives are there for polymers?
  • Currently, more than 1600 bio-based additives for polymers are found on the market . Several authors reported how commercial bio-based additives are able not only to compete with traditional additives, but also to impart new and improved properties to the material.
  • Are plastic additives a hazard?
  • In this paper, we review the latest research advances on additives in plastics and describe the effects of their migration and leaching, present the hazards of four major classes of plastic additives (i.e., plasticizers, flame retardants, stabilizers, and antimicrobials).
