Rheological Comparison of Chemical and Physical Blowing Agents in a Thermoplastic Polyolefin
Abstract
The influences of popular blowing agents (BAs), both chemical and physical types, in solution with a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) were investigated with an in-line capillary rheometer nozzle attached to a conventional reciprocating 55-ton injection molding machine. In the experiments, two types of masterbatch chemical BAs (endothermic and exothermic type) were dry mixed with the TPO resin and compared against two types of physical BAs (carbon …
