In a foaming process of microcellular plastics (MCPs) with a batch process, amorphous plastics and crystalline plastics have different characteristics for a foaming temperature. It is known that a foaming of amorphous plastics occurs at the temperature above a glass transition temperature, however, it is discovered that crystalline plastics do not take place above a glass transition temperature without exception, and even though the foaming occurs, it does not in all the range. In this research, to measure foaming temperature of crystalline polymer, a foaming experiment was performed using one of the typical crystalline polymer, polypropylene. To analyze whether the foaming occurs both at amorphous and crystalline fields, SEM was applied

There are many types of foam molding methods. The most commonly used methods are the pressure foaming method, in which foam resin is mixed with a foaming agent at high temperature and high pressure, and the normal pressure foaming method, which foams at high temperature without pressure. The polymer resins used for foaming have different viscosities. For foaming under normal pressure, they need to be designed and analyzed for optimal foaming conditions, to obtain resins with low melt-viscosity or a narrow optimal viscosity range. This study investigated how changes in viscosity, molding temperature, and cross-link foaming conditions affected the characteristics of the molded foam, prepared by blending rubber polymer with biodegradable resin. The morphologies of cross sections and the cell structures of the normal pressure foam were investigated by SEM analysis. Properties were also studied according to cross-link/foaming conditions and torque. Also, the correlation between foaming characteristics was studied by analyzing tensile strength and elongation, which are mechanical properties of foaming composites.

Pre-foaming, one of the manufacturing way of foamed concrete, is influenced by foaming agent. When the foaming agent diluted with water, surface tension and viscosity are varied. Therefore, this study is reviewing the surface tension, viscosity and unit weight of foam by experimental factor such as foaming agent types(AES, AOS, VS FP) and foam agent dilution concentration (1, 3, 5%) and temperature of materials (5, 10, 20℃). As an expeimental result, the surface tension and viscosity slightly increased with increasing concentrations. Meanwhile, when increasing temperature, the viscosity has decreased. FP produce relatively stable foams only in case 3% or more, which produce unstable foams containing large amount of water content by decreasing only insignificant surface tension when diluted at concentration of 1%.

This study is to obtain basic data concerned with properties of foam for foamed concrete and foaming method. Main factors of this study are types of foaming agents, temperature of solution with foaming agents, and types of foam generator. Testing items are size distribution of foam, foaming ratio to solution, and stability of foam. The results of this study were shown as follow. It is optimum condition of foam generator that length/diameter of foaming tube is 2.0, bead size within foaming tube is $4\~6mm$, and nozzle size of foaming tube is 10mm. AES and AOS are good results to produce high quality foam, and stability of foam is good in foaming temperature of $20^{\circ}C$.

The industries use polymer materials for many purposes for they have many merits. The costs of these materials take up too great a proportion of the overall cost of products that use these materials as their major material. It is advantage for polymer industries to reduce these costs. The microcellular foaming process was developed in the early 1980s to solve this problem and proved to be quite successful. Microcellular foaming process uses inert gases such as $CO_2$, $N_2$. As these gases solve into polymer matrices, many properties are changed. The microcellular foaming process makes the glass transition temperature of polymers to low, and diminish the residual stress of polymer matrices. Besides, the microcellular foaming process has several merits, impact strength elevation, thermal insulation, noise insulation, and raw material saving etc. This characteristic of microcellular foaming process has influenced by cell morphology. The cell morphology means cell size and cell density. The cell morphology has influenced by many factors. The examples of factor are pressure drop rate, foaming temperature, foaming time, saturation pressure, saturation time etc. Among their factors, pressure drop rate is the most important factor for cell morphology in microcellular foaming injection molding process. This paper describes about the cell morphology change in accordance with the pressure drop rate of microcellular foaming injection molding process.

Aluminium foam material is a highly porous material having complicated cellular structure defined by randomly distributed air pores in metallic matrix. this structure gives the aluminium a set of properties which cannot be achieved by any of conventional treatments. The properties of aluminium foam material significantly depend on its porosity, so that a desired profile of properties can be tailored by changing the foam density. Melting method is the one of foaming processes, which the production has long been considered difficult to realize becaues of such problems as the low foamability of molten metal, the varying size of. cellular structures, solidification shrinkage and so on. These problems, however, have gradually been solved by researchers and some manufacturers are now producing foamed aluminum by their own methods. Most of all, the parameters of solving problem in electric furnace were stirring temperature, stirring velocity, foaming temper:iture, and so on. But it has not considered about those in induction heating, foaming velocity and foaming temperature in semi-solid state yet. Therefore, this paper presents the effects on these parameter to control cell size, quantity and distribution.

Generally, mixed materials of LDPE, EVA and foaming agent are manufactured by crosslinking foaming or chemical foaming process. Above materials were used in a microcellular foaming injection molding process. Influence of each factor such as injection type, temperature of barrel, rate of mixed materials and contents of foaming agent was estimated by DOE(Design of Experiments). As a result of experiments, injection type and rate of LDPE, EVA have an influence on foaming rate. This data can be used in field of application of LDPE and EVA.

본 연구에서는 압출된 PP sheets를 각기 다른 조사량으로 조사 가교시켜, 겔 분율 차이에 따른 세 종류의 샘플을 만든 다음, 회분식 공정을 통해 초임계 유체 (supercritical fluid) 상태의 $CO_2$를 발포제로 사용하여 발포시켰다. 이때, 겔 분율의 차이 및 고압 반응기 내에서 충진 압력과 충진 시간이 셀 구조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 다음으로, 발포조건에 따른 셀 구조 변화를 알아보기 위해 발포온도와 발포시간을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 고분자 샘플 내로 침투한 가스의 양은 겔 분율의 차이에 의한 변화가 거의 없었으며, 충진 압력이 2000 psi 이상일 경우 충진 압력의 영향에도 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 겔 분율이 낮은 샘플은 발포온도나, 발포시간이 증가함에 따라 셀 크기가 불균일하게 증가하였으나, 겔 분율이 높은 샘플은 높은 발포온도와 발포시간에서도 균일하게 셀 크기를 유지하며 안정한 구조를 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 발포체의 가황거동과 발포특성에 발포온도 및 카본블랙 함량이 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 카본블랙을 변량 배합하고 $145^{\circ}C$에서 $165^{\circ}C$까지 $5^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 발포하여 천연고무 발포체를 제조하였다. 발포온도 및 카본블랙 함량이 증가함에 따라 $t_{s2}$ 그리고 $t_{90}$의 감소 경향이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 천연고무의 발포 가황특성의 최적 온도는 $165^{\circ}C$ 였으며 이때 발포된 천연고무 밀도가 가장 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. $145^{\circ}C$에서 발포된 천연고무발포체의 가교속도지수가 가장 작은 값을 보였다. 발포 천연고무의 발포 및 모폴로지 특성으로부터 발포체의 밀도 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 고무내부에 생성된 각 발포 격벽의 두께는 발포온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 반면 카본블랙 함량 증가와 더불어 증가함을 보였다.
