Effects of CO2 and talc contents on foaming behavior of recyclable high-melt-strength PP

This article presents an experimental study on the foaming behavior of recyclable high-melt-strength (HMS) branched polypropylene (PP) with CO 2 as a blowing agent. The foamability of branched HMS PP has been evaluated using a tandem foaming extruder system. The effects of CO2 and nucleating agent c...

Low density (i.e., 12-14-fold), fine-celled (i.e., 107-109 cells/cm3) PP foams were successfully produced using a small amount of talc (i.e., 0.8 wt%) and 5 wt% CO2. © 2006 SAGE Publications. 2014-08-30T02:56:08Z 2014-08-30T02:56:08Z 2006 Article 0021955X 10.1177/0021955X06066995 JCUPA http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33747884362&partnerID=40&md5=d197538caa2ed3e14d8d1d86e9bf2d3b http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/handle/6653943832/5084 English
