Journal ArticleDOI
Strain hardening in polypropylenes and its role in extrusion foaming
TL;DR: In this article, the extensional viscosity of several polypropylene polymers and their blends was measured and the foam processing of these blends using carbon dioxide blowing agent was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Block Copolymer Micelles for Nucleation of Microcellular Thermoplastic Foams
TL;DR: The use of block copolymer micelles as novel nucleating agents for foaming thermoplastics is explored in this article, where different types of A-B diblock copolymers were added to a polystyrene matrix in low concentrations, and the resulting blends were foamed in a batch process using carbon dioxide as the blowing agent.
