Foaming of thermoplastics is an area of significant research interest. The substitution of any
solid polymer with its foamed counterparts not only results in the lowering of material and …

This paper presents recent developments in electrically conducting nanocarbon-containing
polymer composite foams for advanced applications and introduces the knowledge gaps …

This paper investigates the decomposition kinetics of citric acid, sodium bicarbonate and
their combinations in masterbatches with low density polyethylene in view of their use in …

This paper presents an experimental study on foam processing of polystyrene (PS) and high‐
impact polystyrene HIPS/wood‐fiber composites in extrusion using moisture as a blowing …

We report systematic studies on the foamability of our novel high-melt-strength long-chain
branched polypropylene under supercritical CO2. Continuous foaming experiments were …

Polypropylene (PP) has not been used extensively in rotational foam molding because it has
been traditionally considered as nonfavorable for foaming applications because of its …

This work presents the production of cellular polymer films using extrusion blowing to
impose biaxial stretching on the cellular structure while processing. The materials selected …

An investigation was reported on the effect of foaming parameters on the microstructure,
mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) foams …

A complete experimental analysis of the microcellular injection process using Chemical
Blowing Agents (CBA) with Gas Counter Pressure (GCP) and core‐back expansion is …

A core-back polypropylene foaming injection process using chemical blowing agents (CBA)
has been studied. First, injection tests were carried out with two different CBAs and the …
