    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a die assembly (10) having an outlet assembly (52). The outlet assembly (52) includes first and second outlet plates, each outlet plate (56A, 56B) having a respective inner face (106, 108). The first inner face (106) is in mirror-image relation to the second inner face (108) along an axis of symmetry (56C). The first inner face (106) and the second inner face (108) together form an elongate outlet (52, 57) through which a microcapillary film (54) exits the die assembly (10). Each inner face (106, 108) has two tapered surfaces (110A, 110C) extending in opposite directions away from a midpoint (112A, 112B). For each respective inner face (106, 108), a mid-segment (Ms) extends between the midpoint (112A, 112B) and the axis of symmetry (56C), and a peak segment (Ps) extends between a peak point (114A, 114B, 114C, 114D) and the axis of symmetry (56C). The mid-segment (Ms) and the peak segment (Ps) each have a length. The length of the mid-segment (Ms) is less than the length of the peak segment (Ps).

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a die assembly (10) for producing a microcapillary film (54). The die assembly (10) includes a first die plate (12, 28), a second die plate (12, 28), a plurality of multi-jackbolt tensioners (30) connecting the first die plate (12, 28) to the second die plate (12, 28), a manifold (36), and a plurality of nozzles (58). The manifold (36) is located between the pair of die plates and defines a plurality of film channels (38) therebetween. The plurality of film channels (38) converge into an elongate outlet (52), wherein a thermoplastic material (4) is extrudable through the plurality of film channels (38) and the elongate outlet (52) to form a microcapillary film (54). The plurality of nozzles (58) are located between the plurality of film channels (38). The plurality of nozzles (58) are operatively connected to a source of channel fluid (66, 68) for emitting the channel fluid (66, 68) between layers of the microcapillary film (54), whereby a plurality of microcapillary channels (68) are formed in the microcapillary film (54).

    Abstract: Prepare nanofoam by: (a) providing a mold (10) with a mold cavity (12) defined by mold walls defining a sealable port (32); (b) providing a foamable polymer mixture containing a polymer and a blowing agent at a pressure at least 690 kilopascals above the saturation pressure for the polymer and blowing agent; (c) introducing the foamable polymer mixture into the mold cavity (12) while maintaining a temperature and pressure at least 690 kilopascals above the saturation pressure and controlling the pressure in the mold cavity (12) by expanding a wall of the mold; and (d) releasing pressure around the foamable mixture by moving a mold wall (20) at a rate of at least 45 centimeters per second, causing the foamable polymer mixture to expand into nanofoam having a porosity of at least 60 percent, a volume of at least 100 cubic centimeters and at least two orthogonal dimensions of four centimeter or more.
