  • Do bio-based plasticizers affect acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber properties?
  • In this paper, two modified bio-based plasticizers (epoxidized esters of glycerol formal from soybean and canola oil) are of main interest. The study aimed to determine the influence of these sustainable plasticizers on the properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR).
  • Do sustainable plasticizers affect acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber properties?
  • The study aimed to determine the influence of these sustainable plasticizers on the properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR). For comparison, the influence of conventional plasticizers, e.g., treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE) and Mesamoll ® were additionally investigated.
  • Why do we need a plasticizer for NBR compounds?
  • This increases the viscosity and reduces the internal plasticization, so the addition of an external plasticizer is needed [ 4 ]. Various types of oil can be added to NBR compounds to reduce viscosity, improve processing properties, increase low-temperature flexibility, and reduce production costs [ 5 ].
  • Do bio-based plasticizers have better mechanical and thermal properties?
  • The mechanical characteristics were investigated. In parallel, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were performed and filler macro-dispersion was determined. Bio-based plasticizers were shown to have better mechanical and thermal properties compared to conventional plasticizers.
  • Are bio-based plasticizers sustainable?
  • They investigated the suitability of two bio-based plasticizers, namely epoxidized esters of glycerol formal from soybean and canola oil, as sustainable alternatives with lower health risks compared to conventional plasticizers. ... ... Hence, it is necessary to add plasticizers to reduce the viscosity and improve its processability .
  • Can bio-based plasticizers be used in the compounding of NBR vulcanizates?
  • 4. Conclusions The use of bio-based plasticizers (EESO, EECO), a conventional plasticizer (TDAE), and a synthetic plasticizer (Mesamoll ®) in the compounding of NBR vulcanizates were studied. It was shown that bio-based plasticizers can advantageously be used as processing aids instead of conventional oils.
