Plasticizers are commonly used to give certain polymeric materials attractive mechanical properties. Such small molecule additives are also considered to leach from finished goods, and can affect not just the physical properties of the substance but also the distribution of these chemicals in the atmosphere and in the human body, posing long-term health and environmental risks. Plasticizers, polymer blends, and composites have all been stated to be successful in overcoming rigidity and brittleness. The aim of this analysis is to summarise the most recent research about how plasticizers affect the functional properties of biodegradable gelatin-based films. Plasticizers in films can disrupt the polymer matrix's continuity, resulting in physical changes. Plasticizers' plasticization effect improves the film structure, resulting in increased tensile strength and elongation of the films and decreased water barrier properties. We distinguish various types of plasticizers based on their chemical structure and purpose in this study, and we highlight recent developments in multifunctional plasticizer applications.
