Plasticizers
Plasticizers: Definition: Plasticizers are additives used to increase the plasticity or fluidity of a material. They are commonly incorporated into polymers to make them softer, more flexible, and easier to handle. Function: Plasticizers work by embedding themselves between the chains of polymers, spacing them apart and thus increasing their mobility. This process reduces intermolecular forces…
