Ultra-high expansion linear polypropylene foams prepared in a semi-molten state under supercritical CO2
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal melting behavior of linear polypropylene (LPP) under different CO2 pressures was studied using an in-situ visualization method, and it was found that with increasing temperature, the crystal boundaries were gradually melted.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-expansion polypropylene foam prepared in non-crystalline state and oil adsorption performance of open-cell foam.
TL;DR: The fabricated high-expansion open-cell foam fabricated using supercritical CO2 as a blowing agent exhibits an excellent reusability for oil recovery in the cyclic adsorption and squeezing process and shows good application prospects in oil spill clean-up fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction of a long-chain branching structure by ultraviolet-induced reactive extrusion to improve cell morphology and processing properties of polylactide foam
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the long-chain branching structure on the cell morphologies of PLA foams was investigated, and the results indicated that LCB-PLA possesses better foaming behavior at high temperature and high pressure.
