Data (mean ± SD), The letters E, G, S and T indicate to 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, glycerol, sorbitol and triethylene glycol, respectively. The number next to them

Different superscript letters in a column indicate that there are statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between samples. Lower caseletters show statistically analysis for a plasticizer with different weight percentage and capital letters indicate statistically analysis between plasticizers
