General description

Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) is a plasticizer that can be prepared by alcoholysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with isooctyl alcohol.

Application

DOTP can form a composite blend with polyaniline (PANI)-ethyene dimethacrylate (EDMA), which can be used in the fabrication of conductive films. It may also be used as a plasticizer with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to form solutions for artificial intravessel plaque.

1. The hydrolysis of di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were studied using rat gut homogenate fractions in vitro. Both isomers were hydrolysed by the intestinal fraction; however, DEHP was hydrolysed to 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) in

Groups of five male and five female rats were fed diets containing from 0% to 2.5% di(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate (DEHT) or 1.2% di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) for 21 days. Feed consumption and body weight gains were collected and, at study termination, animals were examined
