Modelling of Pore Collapse during Polymer Sintering: Viscoelastic Model with Enclosed Gas

Frenkel’s model for the late stage of coalescence of viscous particles has been extended to describe pore collapse in a viscoelastic melt during polymer sintering. The shrinkage of a pore in a polymer melt driven by surface tension is extended by taking into account the effects of trapped gas and ga...
