foaming 조건에 따른 PMMA microcellular foam의 구조 연구
Structures of PMMA microcellular foam from the Foaming Conditions
Supercritical carbon dioxide is known to swell and plasticize poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, dramatically. In this paper, a basic characterization of the solid-state foam processing is presented. Experiments were conducted in order to determine the effect of foaming temperature and foaming time on cell structures, cell density, and so on. As a result, higher foaming temperature and foaming time generated larger cell size, and lower cell density.
