The interest in designing new environmentally friendly materials has led to the development
of biodegradable foams as a potential substitute to most currently used fossil fuel–derived …

The evolution of technology means that increasingly better materials are needed. It is well
known that as a result of their interesting properties, nanocellular polymers perform better …

Considering the frequent use of silicone rubber foam under stress in actual application, it is
vital to study the relationship between the cell microstructure and mechanical properties of …

The effects of nanoclay on the crystallization behavior, microcellular structure, and
mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/clay nanocomposite (TPUCN) …

In this work, nanocellular silicone rubber foams were first prepared by supercritical carbon
dioxide. The cellular morphologies and mechanical properties of the microcellular and …

In this work, a new system based on poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) sepiolite
nanocomposites that allow producing nanocellular polymers by using the gas dissolution …

A new method was proposed for fabricating the polymer foams with bimodal structure.
Briefly, nanoparticles and polymer powders were dry-mixed by ball-milling and then hot …

Polymeric foams with gradient of cell size have shown significant potential in many
applications, but, the fabrication of such foams is difficult. By producing blowing agent …

Bimodal cellular poly (methyl methacrylate) with micro‐and nano‐sized (300–500 nm) cells
with up to 5 wt% of sepiolite nanoparticles and porosity from 50% to 75% are produced by …

Because polypropylene (PP) foam normally exhibits nonuniform cell size and cracked
cellular structure, a narrow cell-size distribution and a well-defined morphology are always …
