Abstract: This paper reviews the current trends in replacing commonly used plasticizers in poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, formulations by new compounds with reduced migration, leading to the enhance- ment in mechanical properties and better plasticizing efficiency. Novel plasticizers have been divided into three groups depending on the replacement strategy, i.e., total replacement, partial replacement, and internal plasticizers. Chemical and physical properties of PVC formulations containing a wide range of plasticizers have been compared, allowing observance of the improvements in polymer per- formance in comparison to PVC plasticized with conventionally applied bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate and di-n-octyl terephthalate. Among a variety of newly developed plasticizers, we have indicated those presenting excellent migration resistance and advantageous mechanical properties, as well as those derived from natural sources. A separate chapter has been dedicated to the description of a synergistic effect of a mixture of two plasticizers, primary and secondary, that benefits in migration suppression when secondary plasticizer is added to PVC blend.

Synopsis Ion irradiation has been investigated as a route for the preparation of mechanically stable and highly durable cross linked sulphonated PEEK for fuel cell application. Ion irradiation was carried out using the University of Birmingham’s Scanditronix MC-40 Cyclotron operating at 11.7 MeV for H+ and 30 MeV for He2+ and the irradiated materials were characterized focusing on structural, thermal, morphological as well as dielectrical properties. Alterations produced in the molecular structure of amorphous PEEK by ion irradiation have been interpreted as due to chain scission and formation of cross links, as confirmed by sol-gel analysis in MSA using the well known Charlesby–Pinner equation. The thermal decomposition of irradiated PEEK was similar to that of untreated PEEK in that it occurred by a random chain scission process.

  • High Performance Ester Plasticizers
    High Performance Ester Plasticizers Abstract Traditional elastomer polymers, such as nitrile, polychloroprene, chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, have for years used moderate- to low- performance ester plasticizers. However, longevity requirements for rubber articles made from these elastomers have created a need for higher-performance ester plasticizers. With the increasing high-temperature demands required by automotive, other elastomers such as acrylic, high-saturated nitrile, epichlorohydrin and ethylene propylene diene monomer EPDM are replacing the more traditional elastomers. Plasticizers commonly used for the traditional and the high-temperature polymers are extractable, incompatible or too volatile. This paper provides information on plasticizers that are designed for traditional elastomers and high-performance polymers. The test data will include heat aging, extraction by hydrocarbons and low-temperature as molded after aging. The information provided indicates that the permanence of the plasticizer after these various agings is the key to the retention of physical properties. Introduction End uses for elastomer compounds are quite diverse, but they can be loosely categorized as being either general performance or higher performance applications. Each of these performance categories requires a different set of considerations in terms of compounding with ester plasticizers. An ester plasticizer, in its simplest concept, is a high-boiling organic solvent that when added to an elastomeric polymer reduces stiffness and permits easier processing.1 For general performance applications, compounders require moderate performance in several areas without particular emphasis on any one. Some general performance ester plasticizers used in the marketplace today are DOA, DIDA, DIDP, DOP, DINP and other phthalates and adipates made from straight-chain alcohols of 7–11 carbons in length.

  • Biodegradable Polymeric Film for Food Packaging
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Biodegradable Polymeric Film for Food Packaging Raminder Kaur Neelam Yadav* Delhi Technological University Delhi Technological University PREFACE API 2015 ABSTRACT Food packaging films that show post-consumer biodegradability are rarely explored by researchers. The present study was carried out to investigate the physicomechanical characteristics of ethyl cellulose (EC) based films to be used in food packaging. Ethyl cellulose was plasticized with different percentage of polyethylene glycol (PEG). The samples of standard dimensions were subjected to different testing such as soluble matter content, moisture content, oil permeability, surface morphology, mechanical testing etc. The data obtained was analysed to decide the moderate percentage of plasticizer that can be used to provide a rational explanation of a perfect quality specimen. It has been revealed that too high or too low percentage of plasticizer was not appropriate for a good film. Tensile stress analysis was used to estimate the mechanical properties of the films. The results have shown an increase in tensile properties with increase in coalescence temperature. Temperature-dependent plastic deformation was observed for coalescence temperatures above 50oC.

  • PROCESSING and STRUCTURE G. Menges and N. Berndtsen Institut
    Pure & Appt. Chem.~ Vol. 49, pp. 597-613. Pergamon Press, 1977. Printed in Great Britain. · POLYVINYL CHLORIDE - PROCESSING AND STRUCTURE G. Menges and N. Berndtsen Institut ffir Kunststoffverarbeitung, 51 Aachen Abstract - Widely different procedures for the processing of PVC have proved themselves and have succeeded in practice on the basis of the special physical and chemical properties of PVC. In this connection a distinction must be made between the processing of plasticized PVC and the relatively difficult processing of rigid PVC. A survey of the most important methods of preparation and processing is given here. The special, rather abnormal properties of PVC in comparison with other thermoplastics are partly. a result of its characteristic structure. The consequences for preparation and processing must therefore be considered anew. Of course, the globular structure of PVC has an effect on the behaviour of the solid-state material and the melt, too, so that great importance must be attributed to the processes at the parttele interface. 1. INTRODUCTION Though polyvinyl chloride has been in existence for a long time far less is known about it than about the comparatively new polyolefins. It is incom­ parably more difficult to process because of its low decomposition tempe­ rature, a fact which impedes laboratory tests, too. M8ny research workers say that chlorine begins splitting off just above 100 C (1,2,3). It shows the lowest activation eriergy for decomposition of all plastics, except for PVA (4). It can be attributed to its low raw-material price - it is a typical recyclinq product of the chemical joint utilities - as well as.

  • The Function and Selection of Ester Plasticizers
    The Function and Selection of Ester Plasticizers Plasticizer basics As defined by ASTM, a plasticizer is a substance incorporated into a plastic or elastomer to increase its flexibility, workability or distensibility.1 In its simplest concept, it is a high-boiling organic solvent that, when added to a rigid substance, imparts flexibility. Plasticizers include a large variety of organic liquids, such as petroleum fractions, coal tar distillates, animal fats and plant extracts, and reacted products made of those materials. Ester plasticizers, the subject of this paper, are the latter. Elastomer and plastic polymers may be tough, dry or rigid materials that, for many applications, have a need for plasticizers. A plasticizer, among other contributions, will reduce the melt viscosity, lower the temperature of a second order glass transition (Tg) or lower the elastic modulus of a polymer. This paper discusses ester plasticizers, one of the more common and important plasticizer classes. Function Plasticizers are polymer modifiers, as are all the other ingredients included for the formation of an elastomer compound. Plasticizers may be thought of according to their function in a compound or by their type. Some of those classifications might be internal, external, chemical, physical, esters, oils, primary, secondary, etc. Internal plasticizers include flexible monomers (soft segments) incorporated regularly or irregularly between inflexible monomers (hard segments) of a polymer chain. Flexible polymers may be added to rigid polymers, for example, nitrile rubber to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or grafted as side chains that reduce crystallinity and Tg through the reduction of intermolecular forces. External plasticizers are materials that interact physically with the elastomer but that do not chemically react with the polymer.

  • Thermal Analysis of Polyvinyl Chloride TA N0.65 FEB.1995 - Influence of Plasticizer on Glass Transition
    Thermal Analysis of Polyvinyl Chloride TA N0.65 FEB.1995 - Influence of Plasticizer on Glass Transition - 1. Introduction Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used as an all-purpose plastic in a wide variety of fields ranging from industrial materials such as pipes and wire coating materials to general consumable materials such as film and sheets. One characteristic that makes PVC different from other polymers is the ability to greatly adjust the elasticity and hardness of end products through the addition of plasticizer. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA) can evaluate the fluctuations of the glass transition points of plasticized PVC. This brief introduces examples of DSC and TMA measurements of the glass transition point fluctuations of plasticized PVC with different dioctyl phthalate (DOP) concentrations. 2. Measurements Three types of PVC samples were used: non-plasticized PVC and plasticized PVC containing 10wt% and 20wt% DOP. DSC220C and TMA210C units were connected to a SSC5200H Desk Station for the measurements. For the DSC measurement conditions, a 10mg sample was placed an aluminum open type sample container. The measurement temperature range was -20°C to 120°C and a heating rate of 10°C/min was used. For the TMA measurements, an expansion/compression probe was used and the load was 3g. The measurement temperature range was -40°C to 120°C with a heating rate of 5°C/min.
