ABSTRACT = {In this study, 3,4-Epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate (ECC) and refined <i>Camellia oleifera</i> seed oil (RCOSO) obtained from saponification and acidified hydrolysis has been used as raw materials to perform ring-opening reactions for the preparation of cyclohexyl acrylate derivative (CAR). The structure of the synthesized product was characterized using infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. CAR was employed as a plasticizer to produce modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films, dioctyl phthalate plasticizer (DOP) used in reference samples to investigate the influence of different plasticizer molecular structures on the properties of PVC films. Observation suggested that (1) CAR plasticizer was successfully synthesized; (2) CAR can interact with PVC, exhibiting good compatibility; (3) PVC films contain CAR showed improved thermal stability, hydrophilicity, and tensile strength. Therefore, CAR has the potential to replace DOP as a plasticizer for PVC.},
