Combining Renewable Eleostearic Acid and Eugenol to Fabricate Sustainable Plasticizer and Its Effect of Plasticizing on PVC

The recent studies on sustainable plasticizer mainly focus raw material source, synthesis method and plasticization, but the effect of chemical functional groups (epoxy group ester group) compatibility thermal stability plasticized polyvinyl chlorid (PVC) materials has been ignored. In this study, two kinds plasticizers (eleostearic acid eugenol (EAEE) epoxidized EAEE) were synthesized to plasticize PVC films using eleostearic eugenol. Compared EAEE, with EAEE showed more flexible stability. Due forming hydrogen bonds between chains than that chains, efficient plasticizing was EAEE. Because alkane polar (ester epoxy groups) in structure intermolecular interaction force stronger there homogeneous smooth surface films.
