A Novel In-Line Measurement and Analysis Method of Bubble Growth-Dependent Strain and Deformation Rates during Foaming

Bubble growth processes are highly influenced by the elongational viscosity of the blowing agent-loaded polymer melt. Therefore, the elongational viscosity is an important parameter for the development of new polymers for foaming applications, as well as for the prediction of bubble growth processes...
