Non-Phthalate Plasticizer/Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Compound for Sustainably Based on Biomaterials Using Glycerol from Biodiesel Process
Author(s): Aya Soliman, Abbas Anwar, N.S.Yousef, Hossam Anwar and Ashraf Morsy*
The phthalate replacement trend the globe began when the European Union put a ban on Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) and other. This trend will continue as environmental and sustainability concerns increase. These polymers, made from renewable sourced (plant based) raw material, as bio based development plasticizers to gain some functionality. At the same time, the biodiesel sector produces an excess glycerol, prompting scientists to look for new uses for this material. The main goal is to create a non-phthalate plasticizer for Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) utilizing crude glycol from the biodiesel process, corn Starch (S), sunflower oil, Citric acid (C) and Benzoic acid (B). Glycerol diacetomonolaurate plasticizer will be developed utilizing glycerol from the biodiesel process. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) will be used to examine the plast.. View More»
