  • Are bio-based plasticizers the future of industrial development?
  • Bio-based plasticizers gradually replacing petroleum-based plasticizers are the inevitable trend of future industrial development. However, there are still many directions for bio-based plasticizers that are worthy of thorough study to make them better use.
  • 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.
  • Are bio-based plasticizers a good choice for PVC materials?
  • These bio-based plasticizers can give PVC materials excellent thermal and mechanical properties under the premise of resistance to migration. Bio-based plasticizers gradually replacing petroleum-based plasticizers are the inevitable trend of future industrial development.
  • 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.
  • How to design bio-based plasticizers?
  • In summary, before designing bio-based plasticizers, researchers should first start from the plasticization mechanism, considering the molecular weight, chain length, number of polar non-polar groups, and prior toxicity of the plasticizer molecule.
  • What are bio-plasticizers based on?
  • Bio-plasticizers are mainly based on epoxidized oils, sebacates, succinic acid, glycerol esters, and particularly used for the production of flexible PVC and PLA items. Arkema, Vandeputte Oleochemicals, Varteco, Novance are important bio-plasticizer manufacturers.
