Experimental and numerical studies on bubble dynamics in nonpressurized foaming systems
Abstract
This work explores the influence of rheological properties on polymer foam development in nonpressurized systems. To understand the complex contributions of rheology on the mechanism of bubble growth during different stages of foam processing, visualization studies were conducted by using a polymer‐foaming microscopy setup. The evolving cellular structure during foaming was analyzed for its bubble surface density, bubble size, total bubble …
