Properties Investigation of Epoxidized Sunflower Oil as Bioplasticizer for Poly (Lactic Acid)

Mohamed Bouti et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the low intrinsic ductility of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) by using a novel bio-sourced plasticizer, resulting in a fully biodegradable material suitable for film manufacturing. The addition of epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO) at 6.5% in a 20wt% PLA blend was found to be an effective plasticizer, increasing elongation and enhancing thermal stability. The plasticizers decreased tensile strength and modulus of PLA, while increasing elongation at break.

Tailoring Oligomeric Plasticizers for Polylactide through Structural Control

Wenxiang Xuan et al.

Summary: Structural variations were used to tailor the performance of biobased plasticizers for polylactide (PLA), including thermal stability, plasticizing efficiency, and migration resistance. Different plasticizers with varying structures showed different properties. Plasticizers based on 1,4-butanediol decreased the glass-transition temperature and increased the strain at break of PLA, while those based on isosorbide exhibited better thermal stability and migration resistance. Plasticizers with levulinate ester end groups had improved thermal stability, plasticizing efficiency, and migration resistance compared to those with hydroxyl end groups.

Synthesis and thermal characterization of some hardeners for epoxy resins based on castor oil and cyclic anhydrides

Fanica Mustata et al.

Summary: Castor oil was converted into esters with carboxyl groups by reacting with cyclic anhydrides, potentially serving as crosslinking agents for epoxy resins. The thermal degradation of the products was analyzed using thermogravimetric, Fourier transform infrared and mass spectroscopy techniques, revealing a multi-step kinetics process. The most probable thermal decomposition mechanism was determined through multivariate linear regression analysis, showing a three-step process.

The influence of self-crosslinked epoxidized castor oil on the properties of Poly (lactic acid) via dynamic vulcanization: Toughening effect, thermal properties and structures

Weidi He et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that utilizing epoxidized castor oil (ECO) with self-crosslinking structure to prepare PLA/ECO blends can achieve better rheological and dynamic mechanical properties, higher crystallinity, and lower thermal stability compared to raw castor oil filled samples. ECO also provides better toughening effect than raw castor oil. However, excessive ECO content leads to aggregation in local areas, resulting in a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the material.
