Foaming of PPC/Wood Fiber Composite Using Moisture Contained in Wood as Blowing Agent

Article Preview

Abstract:

The processing of PPC/wood fiber foam composites using moisture as blowing agent was studied in this manuscript. Three important factors, such as: moisture content, wood fiber content and extruder die temperature were investigated with orthogonal design. The relationship between each factor and foam density was revealed, as well as the foaming mechanism was obtained.
