Performance Data for Novel Soybean Oil-Based PVC Plasticisers

Four novel bio-based plasticisers derived from epoxidised soybean oil (ESBO) have been synthesised and evaluated. Katharine Burns authored this dataset, which compares the performance of these compounds to traditional petrochemical plasticisers like dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and ESBO. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking plasticiser performance based on tensile strength and elongation data mentioned in the description
• Evaluating the effect of chemical modifications on glass transition temperature (Tg) as described
• Comparing bio-based plasticisers to traditional phthalates like DOP as referenced in the description
• Assessing the plasticising ability of methoxy polyethylene glycol derivatives of ESBO as detailed

Strengths

• Includes performance data for four synthesised derivatives of ESBO
• Compares novel compounds to current petrochemical plasticisers and ESBO
• Contains results for a compound showing higher tensile strength and elongation than DOP

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is 21.8 MB, which is a small scale
