For crystalline polymers, there is no consensus on the influence of the crystallization behavior during foaming process on the stabilization of the cell structure. In this work, PBAT foamed bead and unfoamed pellets were prepared by controlling the saturated temperatures in supercritical CO2, soaking step (one or two) and the depressurization rate, respectively. Double melting peaks were observed in the DSC curve of supercritical CO2 foamed PBAT beads. By comparing the outgassing rates we find that the stretching-induced crystallization caused by the rapid expansion of the gas during foaming plays an important role in the stabilization of the cells. Although the crystalline perfection or crystal size at this time is much smaller than that of the crystalline grains formed during static cooling, the rapid crystallization is effective in stabilizing the cell structure of the foamed pores. Compared to normal supercritical foaming processes, the two-step foaming process of soaking CO2 at high temperatures followed by foaming at low temperatures results in an increase in cell size and expansion ratio. At high temperatures, more CO2 diffuses into the PBAT pellets, increasing the instantaneous gas concentration in the pellets for foaming, and the rapid stretching produces stretching-induced crystallization that raises the average size of the cells, further increasing the expansion multiplicity of individual cells. The average cell size of foam beads rises from 37.8 to 48.8 µm and the expansion ratio also increases to 8.6 with saturated temperature increasing form 95 to 105°C. The two-step soaking foaming method is a more efficient way of manufacturing industrial foamed beads, allowing for the preparation of better foam beads at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":9816,"journal":{"name":"Cellular Polymers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140369793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The selection of optimal formulation and processing parameters is critical to produce foam with specific properties depending on the application. In this study, the effect of foaming agent concentration, foaming temperature and time on the morphological and mechanical properties of NR foams was investigated. First, increasing the foaming agent content from 5 to 9 phr (parts per hundred rubber) increased the cell size (16%), while decreasing the compression modulus (28%). In the second part, increasing the foaming temperature (145 to 155°C) resulted in larger cell size (163%); while decreasing the cell density (28%), compression modulus (2%), and hardness (1%). In the third part, increasing the foaming time (25 to 45 min) led to smaller cell size (63%) combined with higher cell density (100%), compression modulus (16%), and hardness (3%). Based on all the results obtained, the best NR foam was obtained with 7 phr of foaming agent and produced at 150°C for 35 min leading to superior morphological and mechanical performance: the smallest cell size (25 µm) and the most uniform cell size distribution ( Đ = 1.03) generating the highest compression modulus (3.36 MPa). Finally, the experimental compression results were combined to build a nonlinear regression model to optimize the formulation and processing conditions leading to 6.5 phr of OBSH molded at 150°C for 36 min. The model showed good agreement with a validation test with less than 2% deviation observed for both compression modulus and strength.","PeriodicalId":9816,"journal":{"name":"Cellular Polymers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140204399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A thermal and mechanical property of water-blown rigid polyurethane foam (WB-PUF) was enhanced by the partial substitution (30 & 50 wt%) of castor oil with glycerol or synthesized NTP. The effects of glycerol content and NTP on the WB-PUF properties were investigated using various characterization techniques including ATR-FTIR, TGA, SEM, compression test, and Shore-A hardness test. Notably, the introduction of NTP substitution into the formulation of WB-PUF foams had beneficial impact on the structure of materials enhancing foam density from 77 kg/m 3 to 117 kg/m 3 and also exhibited superior thermal and mechanical properties compared to those with glycerol and unmodified foams. Shore A hardness and compression strength of those foams ranged from 50 to 69.5 °Sh A and 1.88-3.28 MPa, respectively.

The effects of TFPs loading on the RPUFs were investigated by the examination of their structural and chemical features (particle size and ATR-FTIR analyses), free volume property (PALS analysis), insulation features (thermal conductivity and sound absorption tests), permeability performance (air and water vapor permeability tests) and cellular topology (SEM). PALS analysis results revealed that the addition of TFPs into the foams led to the sharp decrease in all free volume parameters since TFPs caused the formation of the disordered cells by occupying the holes in the matrix. Furthermore, both thermal conductivity and acoustic performance of the resulting foams get worse when compared to unfilled RPUF. This results were attributed to the formation of thinner and weaker cells during polymerization, reduction in the amount of CO 2 inside the cells, enhancement in the solid-phase level in the matrix due to the increasing of volumetric density. Additionally, the foam samples with high content of TFPs showed considerably lower air and water vapor permeabilities when compared to neat RPUFs due to the dominant hydrophobic character of the keratin and reduction in the degree of vacancies in the matrix. SEM analysis also revealed that TFPs showed good compatibility with RPUF, but the distorted and irregular shaped cellular morphology was obtained at high contents.","PeriodicalId":9816,"journal":{"name":"Cellular Polymers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134995303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
