Highly expanded, highly insulating polypropylene/polybutylene-terephthalate composite foams manufactured by nano-fibrillation technology

This paper presents a new nano-fibrillation method to produce highly expanded microcellular polypropylene (PP) foams with high thermal insulation properties. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) nano-fibrils were formed in the PP matrix through a melt spinning process to increase the foamability of PP r...
