Effects of CO<inf>2</inf>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 CO2as a blowing agent. The foamability of branched HMS PP has been evaluated using a tandem foaming extruder system. The effects of CO2and nucleating agent cont...
