“…This shift could be related to interactions between the hydroxyl groups in P3HB and the epoxy groups in EFAE and maleic anhydride in MLO as other authors have reported for similar plasticized systems . This decrease in the wavenumber was also observed by Râpă et al after the addition of different plasticizers, i.e., ATBC, TEC, and TBC in P3HB formulations. Silverajah et al also observed a decrease in the position of the peak corresponding to the stretching vibrations of crystalline carbonyl groups in PLA plasticized with 1 wt% and 5 wt% EPO.…”

“…The synergistic effect of plasticizers and nucleating agents in the crystallinity increase was found by the study of the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA nanocomposites [31], in which crystallization by heating (cold crystallization takes place) and crystallinity degree could vary from 12% to more than 30% [5,32] depending on processing and heating conditions, plasticizer and nucleating agent type and concentration. From the DSC curves of the neat PLA and PLA/ZnO:Cu/Ag bionanocomposites - Figure 7, the thermal characteristics have been determined and they are given in Table 3.…”

“…Plasticizers are widely used in the plastics industry to improve the processability, flexibility, and ductility of glassy polymers. Citrate ester is one of the most studied among these plasticizers . It is nontoxic and confirmed for use as an additive in food, personal care products, and medical plastic applications.…”
