Mechanisms of Cell Nucleation, Growth, and Coarsening in Plastic Foaming: Theory, Simulation, and Experiment

This thesis highlights a comprehensive research for the cell nucleation, growth and coarsening mechanisms during plastic foaming processes. Enforced environmental regulations have forced the plastic foam industry to adopt alternative blowing agents (e.g., carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon and helium)....
