مستخلص: Polypropylene (PP) sheets obtained through a two-step process (masterbatch method) were crosslinked by electron beam irradiation. The crosslinked PP sheets were foamed in an oven under different processing conditions. The effects of foaming temperature and time on the mechanical properties and cell structure of PP foams were studied. With the foaming temperature increasing and foaming time lengthening, both the compression modulus and compression strength dropped. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to study the morphology and cell structure of different samples and the related morphology parameters were acquired. The results showed there was an optimum temperature and time that produced the maximum expansion ratio or the minimum foam density. As foaming temperature or time increased, the cell size increased and the cell density decreased regularly. Excessively high foaming temperature and overly long foaming time caused the coalescence and even the collapse of the cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
