The Study on Open-Celled Morphology of Polymer Blends in Vibration

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to analysis on cell morphology of polymer blends foam in different vibration parameters. In this study, foamed was produced using a dynamic simulation foaming setup designed by ourselves. The addition of the vibration force field improved the cell nucleation. At the same time, the vibration reduce the polymer viscosity and increase the dissolution of CO2, which improve the content of open-celled microcellular foam.
