The purpose of this paper is to review the most significant developments of the last 10 years
in the field of crosslinked polyolefin foams. The methods to produce the foams, the …

Thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) is a high-performance polymer with high tear
strength and excellent abrasion resistance, and microcellular TPEE foams exhibit low …

Current architectured cellular cushion materials rely mainly on damage and/or unpredictable
collapse of their unit cells to absorb and dissipate energy under impact. This prevents shape …

In this study, linear homopolypropylene/clay (HPPC) nanocomposite foams with a high
expansion ratio of about 18 and a high cell density of about 1.7× 108 cells/cm3 were …

As researchers seek replacements for banned, ozone-depleting foaming agents, the authors
of Thermoplastic Foam Processing: Principles and Development strive to develop a better …

Finite element analysis, of regular Kelvin foam models with all the material in uniform-
thickness faces, was used to predict the compressive impact response of low-density closed …

Lightness, efficiency, durability and economic as well as ecological viability are key
attributes required from materials today. In the transport industry, the performance needs are …

In this study, we investigated the tunable porous structure of SiCN (O)-derived ceramic
aerogels by changing the molecular structure of the polysilazanes from linear to branched …

This manuscript presents a detailed characterization of the cellular structure of two types of
polymeric foams by non-destructive multi-scale X-ray computed micro-tomography. This …

In this article, the influence of the rheological behavior of miscible blends of a linear and a
high melt strength, branched, polypropylene (HMS PP), on the cellular structure and …
