Seminar - “The Role of Rheology in Non-Pressurized Polymer Foaming Systems” by Maryam Emami, PhD, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON
ABSTRACT: Plastic foams, as engineering materials, are widely used in variety of industrial sectors and represent an extraordinary class of materials. Foaming in polymers involves delicate scientific mechanisms and unique morphology transformations. This work explores the influence of rheological properties on polymer foam development in non-pressurized systems.
