This paper demonstrates howthe rotational foam molding process can be employed for the
manufacture of plastic articles that have a distinct layer of nonfoamed skin surrounding a …

Rotational molding of polyethylene foams has increasingly become an important process in
industry because of its resultant thicker walls, low sound transfer, high stiffness, and good …

Structural foam parts are manufactured using methods similar to conventional injection
molding. Foaming is achieved through addition of a blowing agent. In structural foam …

This article reports on the results of ongoing work in which the foaming characteristics of
metallocene-catalyzed linear low density polyethylenes for rotational molding are …

Polypropylene (PP) has not been used extensively in rotational foam molding because it has
been traditionally considered as nonfavorable for foaming applications because of its …

In order to survive the competition, the processing cycle time and the energy consumption of
the rotational foam molding process must be reduced to a fraction of its current levels without …

Thermoplastic foam injection molding (FIM) is a highly complex process in which the
interplay between process parameters and material properties largely influences the final …

This thesis is intended to provide a scientific and engineering understanding of the
technological potentials for processing fine-cell PP foams by using a compounding …
