In the present study, we report a strategy to prepare rosin-based plasticizers with differently branched chains, which have the same benzene ring and similar alkane structure compared to phthalate plasticizers. Castor oil methyl ester, cardanol, and triethyl citrate were reacted with the chemical structure of rosin-based plasticizers. Rosin-based plasticizers with differently branched chains as alternative plasticizers for preparing phthalate-free flexible poly(vinyl chloride) films. All rosin-based plasticizers exhibited more excellent solvent extraction performance than phthalate plasticizers in four different solvents. The plasticizing efficiency of rosin-based plasticizers containing triethyl citrate groups reached 85.5%. The relationships between plasticizing efficiency, thermal stability, solvent resistance, tensile properties, and relative molecular mass of the branched chains of rosin-based plasticizers were investigated.
