Abstract

The efficient synthesis of curcumin-diesters, which serve as green plasticizers for poly (vinyl) chloride (PVC), is reported. The plasticizers lower the glass transition temperature of PVC, and their cytotoxicity and leaching-resistance properties are significantly better than commercially used phthalate plasticizers which have several limitations.
