POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS FOR IMPROVED FOAMING: EFFECTS OF MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND MATERIAL PROPERTIES

The morphology and mechanical properties of foams made out of ethylene-α-olefin copolymers (EC) having well-characterized rheological properties were investigated. The polymers differed in the amount of comonomer contained, type of comonomer and molecular weight, resulting in variable thermal proper...
