A QSPR for the plasticization efficiency of polyvinylchloride plasticizers

Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling, 2008
A simple quantitative structure property relationship (QSPR) for correlating the plasticization efficiency of 25 polyvinylchloride (PVC) plasticizers was obtained using molecular modeling. The plasticizers studied were-aromatic esters (phthalate, terephthalate, benzoate, trimellitate), aliphatic esters (adipate, sebacate, azelate), citrates and a ...

Paying and playing with plastic. The meaning of plastics, plasticity, and plastic surgery.

Medical device technology, 1997
Plastics are not only the proverbial everyday commodity, but they also permeate almost every aspect of medical devices, from technology to clinical application. This article addresses some of the confusing features of plasticity as they relate to the materials called plastics, to the phenomena of material plasticity, and to the clinical and biological ...

Plasticizers in Rubbers and Plastics

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 1947
Abstract Up to the advent of synthetic high polymers, plasticizer technology was little understood, Plasticizers had been used mainly with cellulose derivatives, which are not at all good materials for the study of plasticizer action. The chemical processing they undergo, e.g., nitration, acetylation, etc., leads to variations on account of ...

Plastic Before Plastic

Interdisciplinary Literary Studies
ABSTRACT Ranjan Ghosh’s The Plastic Turn foregrounds characteristics of plastics that in his view define the modern sensibility—in particular, mutability (plasticity), agglomeration, and the resistance of polymer bonds to breaking down.
