Online now: Intrinsic plasticization: a molecular design strategy for bioplastics
dlvr.it
Intrinsic plasticization enables flexibility in bioplastics through molecular modification rather than using external plasticizers. By modifying polymer architecture, this approach can improve performance and stability. However, challenges in scalability, trade-offs in property performance, and sustainability remain, highlighting the need for integrated design approaches that link chemistry, processing, and real-world applications.
