Microplastics are small plastic particles that come from the degradation of plastics,
ubiquitous in nature and therefore affect both wildlife and humans. They have been detected …

With rising environmental concerns and depletion of petrochemical resources, biomass-
based chemicals have been paid more attention. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers …

Starch-chitosan blend films are considered promising raw materials for producing active
food packaging film, especially by adding active compounds such as essential oil. Active …

A large fraction of plastic litter found in natural environments is constituted by conventional
not biodegradable plastic bags, and their adverse effects via ingestion or entanglement on …

This paper reported the preparation of a renewable plasticizer originated from waste
cooking oil (WCO). The plasticizing effect of the developed material on the properties of poly …

Cellulose acetate oleate ester has been synthesized from oleic acid and cellulose acetate
by using a mixed anhydride system based on a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and …

A novel flame retardant chlorinated phosphate ester based on castor oil (CPECO) was
synthesized. Chemical structure of CPECO was characterized with FTIR, 1H NMR and 31P …

An overview is presented on the materials for the membranes of the ionophore-based ion-
selective electrodes (ISEs). The basics of these membranes are briefly discussed. Bearing in …

A series of fatty acid cellulose esters (FACEs) with both various degrees of substitution (from
DS= 1.7 to 3) and side chain length were obtained by grafting aliphatic acid chlorides (from …

Expoxy acylated ricinoleic acid binary alcohol ether ester (EARABAEE) is a kind of novel bio-
based environmental-friendly plasticizer. EARABAE was synthesized from ricinoleic acid …
