A review on the application of natural based plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride / Nik Adriana Rosli

Plasticizers are chemical additives added to polymers to obtain desired mechanical properties as well as their processability and ductility. These properties result from the bonding of plasticizer and polymer molecules under plasticization’s theory. The most commonly used plasticizer is phthalate. H...

Natural based plasticizers offer the same properties and functions as other plasticizers, but they are naturally plant-derived and have low toxicity.
