Foaming of thermoplastics is an area of significant research interest. The substitution of any
solid polymer with its foamed counterparts not only results in the lowering of material and …

Biodegradable poly (lactic acid)(PLA) based poly (butylenes succinate)(PBS) foams with
open cell structure were prepared via batch foaming method using supercritical carbon …

A two-step depressurization batch process is developed to produce bi-modal cell structure
polystyrene (PS) foams by using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as the blowing …

A current trend in the progress of bead foams is the use of engineering polymers (ie, poly
(butylene terephthalate)(PBT)), which are more temperature resistant than commodity …

Foaming of polymers with CO2 has attracted increasing attention in polymer processing
studies. Some of the fundamental properties of polymer/CO2 systems is discussed in this …

Bi-modal PS foams with various volume fractions of large cells (fL), cell sizes and densities
were prepared to investigate the effect of cell structures on the tensile and impact behaviors …

The effect of blend morphology on the foaming of polypropylene (PP)/low-density
polyethylene (LDPE) blends with different blend ratios has been studied in this work. The …

Bi-modal pore structures were obtained by stepwise depressurization in batch foaming
method. In this study, a novel method was developed to produce polylactic acid (PLA) foam …

A temperature-rising batch foaming process with supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) as
blowing agent was used to prepare epoxy resin foams consisting of diglycidyl ether of …

The open-cell structure foams of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and linear low-
density polyethylene (LLDPE)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites are …
