The role of PTFE in-situ fibrillation on PET microcellular foaming

Can Jiang et al.

Summary: The introduction of PTFE fibrils effectively promoted the crystallization temperature, rate, and viscoelastic behavior of PET foams, with a rheological percolation value reached at 1 wt% PTFE content. The physical PTFE fibrils network structure during foaming process facilitated nucleation of crystallization and restricted cell growth, resulting in PET foams with smaller cell diameter and higher cell density when containing 1 wt% PTFE.

Evaluating melt foamability of LLDPE/LDPE blends with high LLDPE content by bubble coalescence mechanism

Hong Zhang et al.

Summary: The bubble coalescence mechanism was introduced to evaluate the melt foamability of polymer blends. The presence of small amounts of LDPE in LLDPE matrix significantly improved the nonlinear behavior and foamability of the blends, as confirmed by experiments. The addition of LDPE resulted in a steep stress growth, effectively inhibiting bubble coalescence and improving foamability.

Antishrinking Strategy of Microcellular Thermoplastic Polyurethane by Comprehensive Modeling Analysis

Yichong Chen et al.

Summary: A comprehensive model for the shrinkage behavior of soft TPU elastomer foams has been established, incorporating in situ tensile testing and evaluation of different cell shapes. The study found that hexagonal cells match the actual shrinkage process well and that a high nitrogen content in cells can improve antishrinking ability. Additionally, a method of aging TPU foam under variable ambient vacuum to reduce shrinkage ratio was proposed and validated.

Effect of alcohols-regulated crystallization on foaming process and cell morphology of polypropylene

Xiulu Gao et al.

Summary: The research found that adding alcohol co-blowing agent can regulate the melt and crystallization behavior of polypropylene, significantly affecting the formation of foam. The molecular weight of alcohols can impact the diffusion coefficient of blowing agents in polypropylene, while also reducing the crystallization temperature and crystallinity.
