Compression Molding of Thermoplastic Polyurethane Foam Sheets with Beads Expanded by Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> Foaming

Expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (ETPU) beads were prepared by a supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> foaming process and compression molded to manufacture foam sheets. The effect of the cell structure of the foamed beads on the properties of the foam sheets was studied. Higher foaming pressu...
