Nevertheless, like other thermoplastic elastomers, TPAE foams prepared with supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> as a blowing agent exhibit serious shrinkage problems. This results in a low and unstable expansion ratio, which significantly restricts industrialized application. Therefore, this paper proposes the method of using a CO<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub> co-blowing agent for microcellular foaming, which effectively addresses the shrinkage problem of TPAE foams. Firstly, the solubility of pure gas blowing agents (CO<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub>) and CO<sub>2</sub> and N<sub>2</sub> co-blowing agent in TPAE is determined and the theoretical formula of solubility is deduced. Subsequently, the effects of the blowing agents on the foaming and shrinkage behaviors of TPAE are investigated. The findings indicate that the diffusion rate of N<sub>2</sub> is nearly equivalent to that of air, which retards the shrinkage process of the foam. Furthermore, the introduction of N<sub>2</sub> reduces the growth driving force of the foam and reduces the probability of plastic deformation of the bubbles. When the N<sub>2</sub> content is approximately 20%–30%, TPAE foams with an expansion ratio of about 12 times and a shrinkage ratio as low as 10% can be prepared.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":183,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Polymer Science","volume":"142 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, calcium lignosulfonate was hydrophobically modified to enhance its compatibility with nonpolar low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and a UV-blocking composite film was subsequently fabricated. The hydrophobic modification significantly increased the water contact angle of calcium lignosulfonate from 5° to 101°.
