| Abstract | A plasticizer is a substance incorporated into a material to increase its flexibility, workability, or distensibility. A plasticizer may reduce the melt viscosity, lower the temperature of the second‐order transition, or lower the elastic modulus of the product. Plasticizers are inert, organic substances with low vapor pressures, predominantly esters, which react physically with high polymers to form a homogeneous physical unit, whether it be by means of swelling or dissolving or any other 1. At present some 300 plasticizers are manufactured, of which at least 100 are of commercial importance. A list of some of the most widely used plasticizers is given in Table 1. |
