Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Growing Crystalline Phase on Bubble Nucleation in Poly(L-Lactide)/CO2 Batch Foaming
TL;DR: In this article, the number of bubbles increased as a function of increasing spherulite quantity and area in poly(L-lactide) matrix and a lower hold-temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical studies on the effects of pressure release rate on number density of bubbles and bubble growth in a polymeric foaming process
TL;DR: Shafi et al. as discussed by the authors developed a simple kinetic model for the creation and expansion of bubbles based on the model of Flumerfelt's group, established in 1996, to study the effect of pressure release rate on foaming, and the calculated results of the number density of bubbles and bubble growth rate agreed well with experimental results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual observation of CO2 foaming of polypropylene‐clay nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, a high-pressure autoclave with two sapphire windows on the walls was used to study the effect of nano-sized clay on the initial stage of foaming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual observations of batch and continuous foaming processes
TL;DR: In this article, a high-pressure cell was used to observe the early stage of bubble nucleation and growth behaviors with the help of a high speed digital camera and microscope, which can identify the influence region, where the nucleation was suppressed, exists around bubbles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellular Foams of PS/PMMA Polymer Blends
TL;DR: In this paper, a nanocellular PS/PMMA polymer blend foam was prepared, where bubble nucleation was localized in the PMMA domains, and the resulting blend was foamed with CO 2 at room temperature.
