ABSTRACT: A tung oil derived renewable plasticizer, tung-maleic triglycidyl esters (TMTE), was prepared and incorporated into Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) for the first time. The chemical structure was studied by FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The plasticizing effects of TMTE replacement of dioctyl phthalate (DOP) in soft PVC films were researched. Thermal stability, thermal degradation performance, dynamic mechanical property and mechanical properties of pure PVC and PVC films were investigated with TGA, TGA-FTIR, TGA-MS, DMA and mechanical test. The results showed that PVC films plasticized with the TMTE exhibited increased thermal stability, plasticizing effect, compatibility and flexibility. When 30 phr DOP was substituted with TMTE in PVC blends, glass transition temperature (Tg) dropped from 41.46 °C to 40.18 °C, the initial decomposition temperature (Ti), 10 % and 50 % mass loss temperatures (T10 and T50) had maximum increases of 8.0 °C, 20.0, 27.5 °C, respectively. The interaction between TMTE and PVC molecule was also discussed. Furthermore, the extraction, exudation and volatility resistance of plasticizers were carried out and analyzed by solubility parameters, which results revealed the migration stabilities of PVC films were promoted with the increasing amount of TMTE.

INTRODUCTION A plasticizer is a substance added in a resin to increase its flexibility or workability.1 Large amount of plasticizers are applied in Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) processing as additive to obtain the desired flexible PVC products, which can be used in a wide application area, such as packaging, medical devices, coatings, films etc..2-7 1

Over 500 kinds of plasticizers have become commercialized. Phthalates for example

dioctyl phthalate (DOP), are the most important commercial plasticizers for PVC and occupy for more than 80% of the total plasticizer consumption, attributing to their outstanding plasticizing effect and relatively low price.8, 9 However, it is reported that phthalates have high risk of toxic and biological effects on human,10-14 which limits their application, particularly in the field with high requirements of health sensible application or environmental such as children toys and medical devices.15-20 In addition, phthalates have environmental impact for easily diffusing to surrounding from PVC matrix, which also reduce durable performance of PVC products.21-26 Moreover, petroleum shortages have aroused comprehensive researches on chemicals obtained from renewable resources,27-33 such as plant oils.24-36 Many alternative plasticizers based on plant oil have been reported and used in environmental PVC materials.37-39 Tung oil contains about 80% α-eleostearic (9,11,13-octadecatrienoic) acid which make it is easy to react with dienophile through the Diels-Alder reaction.40, 41 It is known that the tung oil is a kind of very promising renewable resource to develop environmentally friendly materials, such as coatings, varnishes, inks, resins etc..40-47 Although some kinds of tung oil derived plasticizers for rubber have been reported,48 there are few researches on the plasticizers based on tung oil for PVC. Li et al. 49 have prepared a tung oil derived epoxidized dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester which has

good potential as a primary PVC plasticizer. Therefore, in order to make available a promising renewable resource and to extend the utilization of tung oil, this research has been directed toward the development of new derivatives of tung oil which was suitable as plastieizers for PVC. Tung-maleic anhydride (TMA) can be obtained from eleostearic acid methyl ester and maleic anhydride through Diels-Alder reaction. It could be expected that the substitution of carboxylic acid groups in TMA with three glycidyl ethers might lead to a new plasticizer for PVC. Since it contain a number of esters, epoxy groups, flexible alkyl chains and hexatomic ring, this new tung oil based plasticizer is tend to enhance the compatibility and thermal stability of plasticizer with PVC. In this work, a partially novel renewable plasticizer derived from tung oil, tungmaleic triglycidyl esters (TMTE) has been synthesized (scheme 1).The obtained plasticizer was incorporated into PVC as a main or secondary plasticizer for DOP. A wide range of plasticizing characteristics, such as thermal stability, thermal degradation behavior, mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical property and migration stabilities of PVC films were researched. Results indicated that TMTE was an efficient alternative renewable plasticizer and had potential to manufacture PVC products to satisfy the health and environmental demands.

hydroxide (97+%), epichlorohydrin (99%), dioctyl phthalate (99.5%) were supplied by Aladdin Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.(Shanghai, China). Calcium stearate and zinc stearate were purchased from Changzhou Huaren Chemical Co., Ltd., (Changzhou, China). PVC (S-1000) was supplied by the Sinopec Qilu Co., Ltd., (Zibo, China). Preparation of TMTA. To a 1000 ml three- neck flask with a magnetic stirrer, reflux condenser and thermometer, ethyl alcohol (100.0mL), distilled water (100.0 mL) and sodium hydroxide (30.0 g) were charged. When the temperature reached 70°C, 78.0 g TMA was charged. Then the reaction was continued at 70°C for 2h. After cooling, 5 mol/ L hydrochloric acid was dropped into the mixture until the PH decreased to 2-3. The mixture was separated from the aqueous phase and was washed to neutral with distilled water. Finally, the water was removed through distillation under vacuum. Preparation of TMTE. TMTA (63.5 g) was stirred with 450.0 g of epichlorohydrin and 1.11 g benzyltriethyl ammonium chloride at 117° C for 2 h. Then 19.6 g sodium hydroxide was added when the temperature of mixture was decreased to 60 °C. Then the reaction continued for 3 h at 60 °C. After that, the solids were filtered and the excess epichlorophydrin in the filter liquor was recycled. Then the TMTE was obtained, which has a acid value of 0.69 mg/ g and epoxy value of 5.21 %. Preparation of PVC films. For comparison, pure PVC and plasticized PVC films with different plasticizers were prepared. Thermal stabilizers (Casalts/ Zn salts= 3/1), plasticizers and PVC were mixed by a mechanical mixer for 5 min at room temperature. Then the blends was continuing mixed by double-roller blending rolls (Zhenggong Co., China) at 165 °C for 3 min. The PVC films with a thickness of 2 mm were obtained. The formulations are shown in Table 1.

Each sample was heated under N2 atmosphere from 40 to 600 °C at a rate of 10 °C /min. Mass scanning was performed over the range m/v 2–200. Tensile properties were measured through a SANS CMT-4303 universal testing machine (Shenzhen Xinsansi Jiliang Instrument Co., China) with cross-head speed of 10 mm/min, according to ISO 527-2: 1993. Each specimen was conditioned at 50% humidity and 23 °C for 1 day prior to tensile testing. To obtain an average value, five samples were tested for each group. Extraction tests were according to ASTMD 1239-98. The PVC film was immersed in soybean oil, petroleum ether, distilled water, 10 % (w/w) sodium hydroxide and 30 % (w/v) acetic acid at 23 ±1 °C and 50 ±5 % relative humidity. The extracted PVC film was rinsed by distilled water and wiped up after 24 h. Then, each film was dried in a convection oven (Shanghai Suopu Instrument Co., China) for 24 h at 30 °C and reweighed. The weight loss before and after the immersing was measured. Three samples were tested to get an average value. Exudation of the plasticizer was studied by placing a PVC film between two pieces of filter paper. The system was then placed in a convection oven (Shanghai Suopu Instrument Co., China) for 48 h at 60 °C. The weight increments of the filter papers were measured. To obtain an average value, three samples were tested. Volatility tests were according to ISO 176:2005. The film with 120 cm3 of activated carbon spreading over it was placed on the bottom of a metal container with lid. Then the container was placed in the convection oven (Shanghai Suopu Instrument Co., China) at 70 °C ± 1 °C. The container was removed from the oven and cooled in a

i. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Synthesis and characterization. Figure1displayed the FTIR spectra of TMTA and TMTE. In the spectrum of TMTA, the broad peak at around 3500-2500 cm-1 was on account of the presence of C-H and O-H stretching vibrations. The absorption at 2853 cm-1 and 2925 cm-1 were corresponded to the methylene and methyl groups. The peak at around 928cm-1 was attributed to O-H stretching of carboxy groups. For TMTE, the broadband around 3500-2500 cm-1 had disappeared, as well as the peak at around 928 cm-1, which indicated the ester groups were obtained. Furthermore, characteristic features of glycidyl esters group were found at 910, 847 and 731cm−1. The

characteristic peaks implied the TMTE had been obtained.

Figure 1. FTIR spectra of TMTA and TMTE. Figure 2 and Figure 3 display the 1NMR and 13C NMR spectrum of TMTA and TMTE, respectively. It could be seen from Figure 2 (a) that the peak at 0.90 ppm was the sign of methyl ( peak 18). The peaks at around 1.32-2.91 ppm (peak 2-8, 11 and 14-17) were the signs of methylene and methyne. The chemical shifts around 3.67 ppm (peak19, 20) corresponded to the methine protons attached to the-COOH groups. The multi peaks at around 5.09-5.68 ppm were attributed to hydrogens of CH=CH of number 9, 10, 12 and 13 carbon. In Figure 2 (b), the new peaks at 2.54-4.35 ppm (peak 23-31) attributing to the protons of the glycidyl ester group appeared, indicating that esterification reaction of TMTA with epichlorohydrin occurred. This result was in accordance with the previous report by Serra.52 Figure 3 displays the 13C NMR spectra of TMTA and TMTE. In Figure 3(a), the chemical shifts at 178-180 ppm were assigned to the carbons of carboxyl. The chemical shifts around 127-131 ppm were attributed to the carbons of double bond. In Figure 3(b), the new peaks at 44-50 and 64-70 ppm were the signs of the glycidyl ester groups carbons, which implied the TMTA transferred into TMTE. 10

including 10 % and 50 % mass loss temperatures (T10 and T50), initial decomposition temperature (Ti) and residual of the plasticizers are summarizes in Table 2. Compared with DOP, Ti, T10 and T50 of TMTE increased 116.2 °C, 55.3 °C and 135.1 °C, respectively. In addition, the residuals of DOP and TMTE were 0.4 % and 5.5 %, respectively. In conclusion, the TMTE shows higher thermal stability due to the high stability glycidyl esters groups.

Two main degradation steps could be observed from all of the TGA curves, which was well coincident with reports.10, 53-62 A largest weight loss of 69.9 % at 210-350 °C occurred in the first stage. The second degradation step of PVC films which was connected with the formation of aromatic compounds took place at 400-520 °C, attributing to the largest 12

weight loss of 22.4 %.63 It was shown that the Ti, T10 and T50 for pure PVC were 272.8 °C, 269.2°C and 294.2°C , respectively. When DOP cooperated with PVC, degradation temperature decreased significantly from 272.8 °C to 262.1 °C. However, the Ti, T10 and T50 increased when DOP was gradually substituted with TMTE. When 30 phr DOP was replaced with TMTE, the Ti, T10 and T50 reached to 270.1°C, 275.5 °C, 328.0 °C, respectively. It is mainly attributed to the multi glycidyl esters group of TMTE which can scavenge HCl and retard the thermal decomposition.64-66 Furthermore, the byproduct of eleostearic acid methyl ester with a conjugated double bond may be formed by reversible process of Diels- Alder reaction, which might inhibit the degrading of PVC. 67,68 However, compared with film F0, the films F4 modified by 40 phr TMTE had maximum increase of 5.4 °C, 19.8 °C and 37.5 °C in Ti, T10 and T50 respectively. Hence, TMTE can improve the thermal stability of PVC matrix more effectively. Table 2. Thermal properties of pure PVC and PVC films with different plasticizers Weight loss (wt%) Sample

TGA-FTIR analysis. The TGA-FTIR spectra were performed to disclose the contents of gas products of pyrolysis and the thermal degradation processes of PVC blends. Figure 5 presents the 3D FTIR spectrum of gaseous products of pure PVC, film F0, F2 and F4, respectively. The constituents of pyrolysis gas products of pure PVC, film F0, F2 and F4 are similar, which were hydrogen chloride (HCl), water (H2O),carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and benzene (C6H6). At the first fastest degradation stage around 210-350 °C, CO (2181 cm-1), CO2 (2318 cm-1), H2O (3613 cm-1), HCl (2864 cm-1), and C6H6 (3085 and 1540 cm-1) were all released. 69,70 Figure 5 (b) and (c) showed that glycidyl esters(1715, 1216, 688 and 672 cm-1) were released due to the addition of TMTE with PVC. The absorbance of pure PVC, film F0, F2 and F4 at maximum mass loss rates was similar to each other. However, the intensity of absorption band of HCl of film F0 at around 210-350°C was higher than that of film F2 and F4, which implied more amount of HCl were released in the decomposition process. The results was agreed with the previous TGA results.

Figure 6. MS spectra of the main pyrolysis products of PVC films: (a) HCl, (b) C6H6, (c) CO2, (d) CO. TGA-MS analysis. Figure 6 shows the curves for the temperature dependence of ion current variation of PVC films. The signals at m/z 36, 78, 44 and 28 were shown. The MS spectra presented peaks at m/z 36 and 78 at the first fastest degradation step around210-350°C, which could be due to HCl and C6H6 respectively.55-58,60,63 Figure 6 (a) revealed that the lease temperature of the maximum HCl concentration was delayed as the addition of TMTE, and the HCl concentration decreased with the increase of TMTE. This result was consistent with previous studies 50-52 that indicated the epoxy groups could scavenge HCl gas and retard degradation events. Moreover, a small quantity of benzene was revealed. Curves of m/ z 44 and m/ z 28 were the results of CO and CO2, respectively, which were reported that mainly attributed to the second degradation step.71 It was obviously that the CO2 and CO outputs by film F4 were less than those of film F0 and F2, which suggested more residues formed when TMTE was incorporated into PVC. The reason could be

explained that the esters and long carbon chains of TMTE were quite thermal stable, which might not decompose until charring. These results were in accordance with the well known two-step degradation mechanism of PVC blends. That is the first degradation step mainly involve dehydrochlorination with simultaneous formation of reactive conjugated double bond containing sequences (polyenes)72 in the PVC chain and the second step refer to the macromolecules degradation. 73, 74 Consequently, thermal stability performance of PVC films plasticized with TMTE was enhanced. Dynamic mechanical analysis. DMA technology was adopted to research the dynamic mechanical properties of PVC blends. Figure 7 shows the loss factor (tan δ) dependence of temperature of the PVC films with different plasticizers. It could be seen that all the blends are homogenous materials due to the single peak of tan δ for each PVC film.75 In addition, Table 2 presents the data of glass transition temperature (Tg). The Tg values for pure PVC and films F0-F4 are 92.29, 41.46, 39.65, 40.27, 40.18 and 44.30 °C, respectively, which were far below the 92.29°C of pure PVC. The long alkyl chain and polar groups of the plasticizer interacted with the polar fraction of the PVC molecule and lubricated, decreasing the polymer-polymer interaction, and increasing the free volume between polymer molecules (as shown in Figure 8). This result suggested the plasticizer could decrease the Tg of PVC films when DOP was partly replaced by TMTE, indicating the compatibility between PVC and the mixed plasticizers increased with the amount of TMTE increasing. However, Tg value increased from 41.46°C to 44.30°C when DOP was fully substituted with TMTE in film F4. This was might due to the higher molecule weight (about 582) of TMTE comparing with DOP (391), which relatively reduced the polar groups content, thereby decreased its plasticity on PVC.

Mechanical properties. The results of tensile test of PVC films are presented in Table 3. It could be observed that PVC films plasticized with TMTE (F0-F4) had better elongation at break, similar tensile strength and higher modulus of elasticity properties compared with film F0. After adding 0 to 30 phr TMTE, the elongation at break of film F0-F3 could generally increased from 301.2 to 358.4 %, indicating that TMTE had higher plasticizing effect than DOP. However, when the concentration of TMTE increased up to 30 and 40 phr, the elongation at break decreased to 338.3%. The result is in accordance with the DMA result. All the results indicate that TMTE could enhance the flexibility of PVC resin. Table 3. Results obtained from tensile measurements Film

Extraction, exudation and Volatility resistance. The weight losses of the PVC films by extraction in petroleum ether, soybean oil, distill water, 10% (w/w) NaOH and 30% (w/w) acetic acid are shown in Figure 9, as well as the performance of extraction resistance and volatilization resistance. It could be seen that the films showed poor exudation resistance in soybean oil and petroleum ether than in distill water, acid and alkali. This mainly due to the plasticizers was organic solvents. In addition, the weight loss of films after exudation testing mainly followed the order of

F0﹥F1﹥F2﹥F3﹥F4, which implied the resistance of migration was enhanced with the replacement of TMTE into DOP. The exudation resistances of films F1-F4were similar to film F0.The volatilization loss decreased mainly with the increased of TMTE content. These results could be due to structure of the plasticizers, the compatibility and the intermolecular interaction between plasticizers and PVC, which could be inferred from the solubility parameter theory.

Figure 9. Weight losses of extraction, exudation and volatilization testing. The solubility parameters for different plasticizers were calculated using to Equations (1) and (2) and shown in Table 4. When the difference of the solubility parameter value is as small as possible, the good solubility occurs between polymer and plasticizers.51 The difference in the solubility parameter value was measured by equation 4.

As shown in Table 4, the DS of TMTE was the lowest during these plasticizers, implying a good miscibility of TMTE with PVC matrix. The substitution of DOP with TMTE results in a reduction in the contribution of polar group. Hence, the complex plasticizers caused lower solubility parameters than TMTE but higher solubility parameters than DOP. There results were consistent with previous results of DMA, tensile and migration test. Table 4. Solubility parameters for plasticizers and PVC Items

CONCLUSIONS TMTE was synthesized and added into PVC blends to analysis its effects on thermal, mechanical properties and migration stabilities of PVC films. The effects of TMTE partially or completely substituting commercial plasticizer DOP in soft PVC films were investigated. The results of DMA showed the compatibility between the mixed plasticizers and PVC increased with the addition amount of TMTE. The thermal performances were examined by TGA, TGA-FTIR and TGA-MS, which suggested the addition of TMTE could endow PVC films with higher thermal stabilities. When DOP was completely replaced with TMTE, Ti, T10 and T50 of PVC film increased to 267.5 °C, 275.3 °C, 338.0 °C, respectively. The tensile test was carried out and the results suggested TMTE had higher plasticizing effect than DOP.

Furthermore, with the substitution of TMTE into DOP, PVC films exhibited better migration stability. Consequently, this plasticizer derived from tung oil is a potentially secondary or main plasticizer in environmental plastic materials.
