An Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Bubble Growth in Polymeric Foams

An Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Bubble Growth in Polymeric Foams

The cellular morphology of thermoplastic polymeric foams is a key factor for their performances. Three possible foam morphologies exist, namely, with closed cells, interconnected cellular structure, and open cells. In the gas foaming technology, a physical blowing agent, e.g., <inline-formula>...
