Continuous 3D Printing of Hierarchically Structured Microfoamed Objects

Daniele Tammaro et al.

Summary: The study introduces a novel process that combines 3D printing with polymer foaming to produce polymeric structures with microfoamed properties, improving mechanical strength. The technique allows for micron-level control of pores and printing at reasonable costs and time, showing potential for industrial scale-up. The resulting materials exhibit controlled local porosity and superior mechanical properties, offering a promising solution for creating complex polymeric structures.

Evaluating the gas-laden ability of polymer melt under atmospheric conditions using a modified torque rheometer

Xing-Yu Mei et al.

Summary: The study proposed a method of evaluating the gas-laden ability in polymer melts using modified rheometric measurements, showing that the incorporation of gas influenced rheological properties and could predict foaming behavior. The results indicated a decrease in zero-rotational torque and an increase in melt flow index in gas-laden polymer melts, with the ability to quantitatively evaluate gas-laden ability through modified rheological measurements.

Effect of extrudate swell on extrusion foam of polyethylene terephthalate

D. Tammaro et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of extrudate swell on the expansion ratio of foam in extrusion, revealing a correlation between extrudate swell and foaming, and how it affects the final shape of the product. Additionally, a simple heuristic model is developed to predict extrudate swell based on geometrical parameters and rheological characterization of the fluid, showing that the foaming mechanism of polyethylene terephthalate changes with extrudate swell, with lower density foam achieved using dies with higher extrudate swell.

Static Mechanical Properties of Expanded Polypropylene Crushable Foam

Przemyslaw Rumianek et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the influence of loading strain rate, material density, and microstructure on the mechanical properties of closed-cell polymeric foams. It was found that increasing strain rate and foam density raised compressive strength and energy absorption capacity, while increasing temperature caused a decrease in these properties. Differences in foam microstructures also led to variations in strength and energy absorption capacity during testing at the same loading strain rate.

Modelling Sorption Thermodynamics and Mass Transport of n-Hexane in a Propylene-Ethylene Elastomer

Daniele Tammaro et al.

Summary: The sorption behavior of n-hexane vapor in a commercial propylene-ethylene elastomer was experimentally determined and interpreted using a Non Random Lattice Fluid (NRLF) Equation of State model. The study also investigated sorption kinetics and determined values of mutual diffusivity, providing insights for optimizing post polymerization processes of polyolefin elastomers involving solvents.
