Thermoplastic Foam Processing - Principles and Development

Informationen zum Autor Richard Gendron Klappentext As part of the Polymeric Foams series and a companion to the volume! Foam Extrusion: Principles and Practice (2000)! the book includes new topics such as polymer blends and mechanical properties! and further develops several topics appearing in Foam Extrusion! such as extensional rheology and solubility/diffusivity. The text also addresses factors that affect the critical interaction between polymer and gas in the foaming process! such as polymer plasticization! gas dissolution! phase separation! foaming! and stabilization. Written by experts! the authors of Thermoplastic Foam Processing: Principles and Development strive to develop a better understanding of foaming processes and find solutions for day-to-day practice. Zusammenfassung Presents research in foam extrusion and physical foaming agents with a focus on the interaction of material components in the foaming process. This book includes topics such as polymer blends and mechanical properties, and develops several vital topics appearing in Foam Extrusion, such as extensional rheology and solubility/diffusivity. Inhaltsverzeichnis Solubility and Diffusivity. Rheological Behavior Relevant to Extrusion Foaming. Polymer Blending Technology in Foam Processing. Research on Alternative Blowing Agents.
