  • What factors influence the performance of a plasticizer?
  • All in all, the three-dimensional structure of the plasticizer showed to be the most influential variable on the performance of the plasticizer and the resulting PVC-formulation.
  • Is there a biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation?
  • Growing awareness of the effects of plasticizers on the environment and the depletion of petroleum-based resources has made the development of an alternative biobased plasticizer for PVC formulation necessary.
  • Why do biopolymers use plasticizers?
  • The incorporation of additives such as plasticizers into the biopolymers is a common practice to improve these inherent limitations. Generally, plasticizers are added to both synthetic and bio-based polymeric materials to impart flexibility, improve toughness, and lower the glass transition temperature.
  • Are petrochemically derived plasticizer compounds useful?
  • Furthermore, a comparison of the new plasticizer compounds 1 and 2, which are accessible from bio-based resources, with the known and at least to the most extent petrochemically derived plasticizer compounds enabled an insight into structure-activity relationships. In general, these studies also revealed promising plasticizer properties.
  • Which plasticizers are used for bio-based plastics?
  • Although a wide variety of bio-based plastics are under development, this review focuses on plasticizers utilized for the most extensively studied bioplastics including poly (lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, thermoplastic starch, proteinaceous plastics and cellulose acetates.
  • Can a plasticizer reduce TM in a semicrystalline polymer?
  • Polymer thermal properties are typically affected by the addition of a plasticizer. In particular, Tg reduction is one of the main parameters that is used to evaluate the plasticization effect. However, our group has recently reported that the addition of a suitable plasticizer can also decrease the Tm in a semicrystalline polymer.
