A process for making microcellular thermoplastic parts
Tóm tắt
A novel process to produce microcellular thermoplastic parts is described. This is achieved by integrating the deformation process in the foaming cycle in such a way that the cell nucleation and growth processes are effectively uncoupled from deformation. The nitrogen‐polystyrene system is studied and the relationships between the essential process parameters are established. It is experimentally shown that the pressures associated with deformation do not reduce the number of bubbles nucleated. The process synthesized is demonstrated by making a microcellular polystyrene container.
