Due to low melt strength and slow crystallization rate, poly (lactic acid)(PLA) foam materials
are still not satisfactory. In order to improve the foaming performance of PLA, sericite (GA) …

This article proposes a foaming method using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to obtain
compostable bionanocomposite foams based on PLA and organoclay (C30B) where this …

Microcellular nanocomposite foams functionalized with cinnamaldehyde (Ci) were obtained
through two-step supercritical foaming and impregnation processing. PLA nanocomposite …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) foams containing various amounts of an epoxy as a chain
extender (CE) and nano‐sized zinc citrate as a nucleating agent are prepared by continuous …

The process of foaming poly (caprolactone)-based composites using supercritical carbon
dioxide was analyzed. The impact of the conditions of the solid-foam production process on …

Polylactic acid (PLA) foam is widely regarded as an effective substitute for petroleum‐based
foams. However, the fabrication of high‐expansive, lightweight, highly hydrophobic foams …

Bead foaming technique is regarded as a highly promising method for preparing foams with
complex geometries and high expansion ratios. The biodegradability of poly (butylene …

A novel method to enhance and control bubble nucleation in poly (l‐lactic acid)(PLLA)
foaming, not relying on external nucleating agents, is presented. Amorphous PLLA is …

Expanded polystyrene will account for 5.3% of total global plastic production in 2021 and is
widely used for food packaging due to its excellent moisture resistance and thermal …

In this study, semiconductive poly (lactic acid)(PLA)/carbon nanotube (CNT)
nanocomposites have been simultaneously subjected to melt-compounding and foaming …
