| Abstract: | The nucleation of gas bubbles in extrusion foaming of high-pressure polyethylene is considered. Experiments show that undissolved gas microbubbles in the solution being foamed can have a significant effect on the number density of pores in the foam. A simple model for estimating the number density of supercritical nuclei is proposed. The effect of the time of mixing of gas and polymer in the extruder, the talc concentration, and the geometric characteristics of the nozzle on the number density of pores in the foam is analyzed. |
