The use of supercritical carbon dioxide as a processing solvent for the physical processing
of polymeric materials is reviewed. Fundamental properties of CO2/polymer systems are …

Polymer Foams are used in many different types of applications and it is hard to find an area
where they are not utilised. Polyolefin Foams are a relatively recent development compared …

Supercritical carbon dioxide has proved its applicability in the area of polymer processing
due to its unique properties as a temporary plasticizer. One of the differences between …

A review of spontaneous rupture in thin films with tangentially immobile interfaces is
presented that emphasizes the theoretical developments of film drainage and corrugation …

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of manufacturing processes used in the
development of cellular silicone for a wide variety of applications. The combination of …

We investigate the physical foaming process of glassy poly (ether imide) and poly (ether
sulfone) using carbon dioxide and report temperature− concentration diagrams (“foam …

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic polylactic acid (PLA) foam has shown great
application prospects in heat preservation, adsorption and other fields. However, it is still …

This paper reports on a novel process for preparing open-cell polymer foams which consists
in (1) blending a desired polymer with one which is much more CO 2-philic and which is the …

This study presents a comprehensive morphological, physical, and shape memory
characterization of biocompatible shape memory polymer (SMP) blend foams composed of …

Polymer foams, especially those based on biodegradable polymers, are in high demand for
energy saving applications, for example as thermal insulations or packaging materials. To …
