Nowadays, polymeric foams have attracted particular attention in scientific and industrial
societies due to their unique properties, such as high strength to weight ratio, excellent …

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 …

Due to special micro-nano scale heat transfer effect and the ultra-large specific area,
nanocellular polymer foams (NPFs), especially NPFs with high porosity, have great …

Bio-based poly (lactic acid)(PLA) foams show broad application prospects. However, PLA
exhibits poor foaming ability and controllability due to its low melt strength and slow …

Nanocellular polymers are a new generation of materials with the potential of being used as
very efficient thermal insulators. It has been proved experimentally that these materials …

Low-density nanocellular polymers are required to take advantage of the full potential of
these materials as high efficient thermal insulators. However, their production is still a …

In nanocellular foam production, achieving cell sizes less than 100 nm with low relative
densities is challenging. In this study, poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) was blended with …

Organic polymers can be made porous via continuous or discontinuous expansion
processes in scCO2. The resulting foams properties are controlled by the interplay of three …

Complementary structural characterization methods are useful for studying the hierarchical
cellular morphology of polymer foams. In this study, we employed scanning electron …

Among the various mechanisms playing a role in the heat transfer through nanocellular
polymers, the radiation contribution remains the most unknown, since there is a lack of …
