“…In recent decades, phthalate plasticizers have accounted for more than 80% of the plasticizer market owing to the low price, 5 good compatibility with PVC and excellent electrical resistivity 6,7 . It turns out that these fossil‐based phthalate plasticizers have harmful for human health and the environment 8–11 . Therefore, some European regions have begun to restrict the application of phthalate plasticizers in children's toys, maternal and infant products, and medical devices.…”

“…6,7 It turns out that these fossil-based phthalate plasticizers have harmful for human health and the environment. [8][9][10][11] Therefore, some European regions have begun to restrict the application of phthalate plasticizers in children's toys, maternal and infant products, and medical devices. Therefore, it is of vital significance to use bio-based raw materials to prepare environmentally friendly plasticizers.…”

A bio-based plasticizers, acetyl-oleate triethylene glycol (AOT), was successfully synthesized by using oleic acid as a raw material through esterification, epoxidation, and acetylation. Its structure was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance. The plasticizing performances of this plasticizer was compared with those of two commercial ones: dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) and dioctyl adipate (DOA). This was done by blending these plasticizers with PVC, respectively. Thermal gravimetric analysis results showed that the 5% weight loss temperature of PVC with AOT was 53 C higher than that of DOA and 36 C higher than that of DOTP. The tensile results showed that the AOT plasticized PVC had excellent stretchability: its elongation at break with 50 phr AOT reached 697.7%. Furthermore, its transmittance was as high as 90%, showing better compatibility of ATO with PVC.
