Improving the Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> Foaming of Polypropylene by the Addition of Fluoroelastomer as a Nucleation Agent

In this study, a small amount of fluoroelastomer (FKM) was used as a nucleating agent to prepare well-defined microporous PP foam by supercritical CO<sub>2</sub>. It was observed that solid FKM was present as the nanoscale independent phase in PP matrix and the FKM could induce a mass of...
