Batch foaming of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with supercritical carbon dioxide: Influence of temperature and pressure
This work is aimed at studying the foaming behavior of pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2). The effects of foaming temperature and saturation pressure on the final foam structure were investigated by using two different one-step batch foam...

This work is aimed at studying the foaming behavior of pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2).

The results showed that the cell size and the cell density were affected by the combined effects of crystal, temperature, and pressure. Experimental results with different foaming temperatures showed that higher foaming temperatures led to larger cells and lower cell densities.
