Recycled PET foaming: Supercritical carbon dioxide assisted extrusion with real-time quality monitoring

Foaming of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (rPET) was performed by supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) assisted extrusion. The intrinsic viscosity (IV) of rPET was increased from 0.62 dl/g to 0.87 dl/g using an epoxy-functional chain extender, which provided adequate rheological properties f...
