Abstract

The effect of four different kinds of polyethylene (PE)—low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)—on polypropylene (PP) foaming has been analyzed based on a large number of PP foaming experiments carried out using a self-designed supercritical liquid foaming apparatus, four kinds of PP/PE blends as a matrix and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) as the foaming agent. The rheological behavior of the PP/PE blends was investigated with a rheometer. The results showed that the storage modulus and viscosity of the HDPE/PP and TPE/PP blends were higher than the corresponding values for the LDPE/PP and LLDPE/PP blends, which gave the benefits of reduced cell rupture and coalescence, thus affording higher quality products.
