Question
Chapter 31, Problem 31.39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason as to why the use of diester A as plasticizer in place of dibutyl phthalate is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Plasticizer is a low molecular weight compound, utilized to soften the polymer and increase its flexibility. A plasticizer interacts with the polymer backbones and replaces some intermolecular interactions existing between the chains of
