Abstract
Five soybean oil-derived fatty acid alkyl ester estolide plasticizers were synthesized with methyl, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol ester head groups. The required fatty acid alkyl ester estolides were synthesized by transesterification of alcohols with soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters followed by epoxidation and subsequent ring opening and acetylation. Experimental plasticizers were compounded with PLA for the evaluation of their thermal, mechanical, and water vapor barrier properties compared to those of commercial plasticizer, triethyl citrate (TEC). Experimental plasticizers were divided into low and high molecular weight groups based on similarities in structure and size. High molecular weight plasticizers had poor compatibility with PLA and showed inferior mechanical and water vapor barrier properties. Low molecular weight plasticizers demonstrated good plasticization and depression of glass transition temperature comparable to TEC at low concentrations along with improved water vapor barrier properties at higher concentrations, indicating suitability for more cost-effective applications requiring better water vapor barrier functionality.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
