Abstract:
Methods for reducing the density of thermoplastic materials and the articles made therefrom having similar or improved mechanical properties to the solid or noncellular material. Also disclosed arc improvements to foaming methods and the cellular structures of the foams made therefrom, and methods for altering the impact strength of solid or noncellular thermoplastic materials and the shaping of the materials into useful articles.
Abstract:
A nano-cellular polymer foam is disclosed,- which has an average pore size from about 10 nanometers to about 500 nanometers; and a foam density that is from about 1 percent to about 50 percent of the bulk density of the material of the nano- cellular foam.
Abstract:
Methods, associated products and apparatus are described for the production of biodegradable foam products using a controlled pressure increase due to compressed air and a controlled pressure decrease in pressure as key variables during a microwave heating cycle to produce a foamed product. The biodegradable product formed has improved characteristics including a density from 10 to 100kg/m3; a soft and resilient structure; cushioning G-value characteristics to cushion an object with a fragility of 15 to 115; and a surface abrasion comparable to polystyrene.
Abstract:
This invention provides packages and containers produced by a solid state method for the manufacture of foamed polymeric material. The packages are suitable for pre-cooking or sterilization, insulated transport, cooking vessel, reheating, and storage of food. The gas impregnated thermoforming (GIT) process includes interleaving an article of raw polymeric material with a gas channeling means; exposing the article to a non-reacting gas at elevated pressure to achieve a desired concentration of gas within the polymer, thereby forming a partially gas-saturated article, separating it from the gas channeling means, then decompressing, foaming and forming it at a temperature below the material's melt temperature; and finally trimming it to produce a finished foamed polymeric material and recycleable scrap solid state process foamed polymer.

A polymer composition (A) characterized by comprising a polymer (b) and at least one kind of substance (a) having a critical temperature of 0 to 150°C and a critical pressure of 3 to 10 MPa, the initial content of the substance (a) in the polymer composition being 2 to 70 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the polymer (b), wherein the release duration time of the substance (a) is at least 100 hours at atmospheric pressure at 25°C.
Abstract:
Expanded fluorine type resin products are prepared by adding, to a thermoplastic fluorine type resin without a cross-linking structure, 0.4 to 20% by weight of a C 1 to C 8 -fluorocarbon having a boiling point lower than the crystalline melting point of the resin and 0.01 to 1% by weight of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of water and alcohols having a boiling point of 150°C or less and a latent heat of evaporation of 7.0 kcal/mol or more, and expanding the mixed resin. By this process sheet materials suitable as polishing cloths may be prepared.
