Due to their light‐weight and cost‐effectiveness, cellular thermoplastic foams are considered
as important engineering materials. On the other hand, additive manufacturing or 3D printing …

Synergistic use of surface barriers and nanoscale additives is investigated as alternate
means by which to promote bubble nucleation in, and thus improve the porosity of, poly …

In this study, foamed recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) parts were produced by
rotational molding using different concentration (0 to 1% wt.) of a chemical blowing agent …

The Basics of Troubleshooting in Plastics Processing is a condensed practical guide that
gives the reader a broad introduction to properties of thermoplastics plastics, additives, the …

Rotational molded foam is known as one of the most popular types of polymeric foams due
to its unique properties. Hence, the production of rotational molded foam samples has been …

This article focuses on gaining a fundamental understanding of the bubble growth and
collapse phenomena in a chemical blowing agent (CBA) based foaming process under …

Rotational foam molding has attracted more and more attention due to the inexpensive
machines required, low residual stresses, and flexible design for special and high-value …

Extrusion foaming of poly (3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) and two blends
of PHBV with cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) were studied using an azodicarbonamide …

In aqueous systems, partially hydrophobic particles are known to stabilize foams even in the
absence of any added surfactant. This paper shows that the same principle can be applied …

This paper uses a finite element analysis to investigate the morphological changes of nano-
cells in a polystyrene (PS)–CO2 foaming system. The system was composed of a finite …
