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.

Lightweight and strong gelling agent-reinforced injection-molded polypropylene composite foams fabricated using low-pressure CO2 as the foaming agent

Qian Ren et al.

Summary: An innovative method combining sorbitol gelling agent and low-pressure microcellular injection molding (MIM) technique was reported to produce high-performance polypropylene (PP) foams. The addition of sorbitol gelling agent notably enhanced the crystallization, viscoelasticity and melt strength of PP, resulting in PP foams with well-defined cellular structures and increased tensile toughness and strength. The scalable and novel FIM technique shows promising future applications in automotive, construction and electrical components.
