The flexibility of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials is crucial in the production of urine bags and urinary tubing. However, the combination and concentration of plasticizers offers a variation of the plasticizing efficiency to the PVC matrix. In this study, several types of plasticizers, namely di...
