The application of fibrous materials can be traced back throughout human history.
Widespread adoption of polymers in the 20th century has rapidly driven the development of …

Manufacture of thermoplastic foams with a fine cellular structure (a higher expansion ratio, a
higher cell density, and smaller cell sizes) is challenging work due to the weak viscoelastic …

Inspired by nature, the biomimetic polypropylene (PP) foams with tunable hollow tubular
structure, hierarchical porous structure and rough inner surface characteristics were …

This study aims at investigating the manufacturing and characterization of all-polylactide
composites prepared by melt spunbond spinning technology. To do so, a series of …

This paper presents a new nano-fibrillation method to produce highly expanded
microcellular polypropylene (PP) foams with high thermal insulation properties …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is immiscible with most conventional plastics and also
unsuitable for melt processing owing to its extensive hydrogen bonding. Therefore, there …

Adding polyethylene greatly affects the rheological response of isotactic polypropylene (PP)
under uniaxial elongational flow. Though strain hardening in the transient elongational …
