Abstract

Foaming of thermoplastic polymers is a complex process. Here models are presented that address the viscoelastic character of the thermoplastic melt during the expansion phase of foam development. Each cell is described as consisting of a spherical gas bubble surrounded by a spherical shell of polymer containing dissolved gas.
