Improved Cell Morphology and Surface Roughness in High-Temperature Foam Injection Molding Using a Long-Chain Branched Polypropylene

Improved Cell Morphology and Surface Roughness in High-Temperature Foam Injection Molding Using a Long-Chain Branched Polypropylene

Long-chain branched polypropylene (LCB PP) has been used extensively to improve cell morphologies in foaming applications. However, most research focuses on low melt flow rate (MFR) resins, whereas foam production methods such as mold-opening foam injection molding (MO-FIM) require high-MFR resins t...
