Solid-StateMicrocellularAcrylonitrile-Butadiene-StyreneFoams

SUMMARY

MicrocellularABSfoamsareanovelfamilvofmaterialswiththepotentialtosignificantlyreducematerialcostsinanumberofapplicationsthatcurrentlyusesolidpolymer.ABSfoamswereproducedusingcarbondioxideinasolid-stateprocess.SolubilityanddiffusivityofC02inABSwasmeasured,andthelatterwasfoundtodependsignificantlyonthegasconcentration.Theusefulrangeofprocess-spaceforABS-CO2wascharacterized.ClosedcellABSfoamswereproducedwithdensitiesrangingfrom1.03g/cm3（almostcompletelysolid）to0.09g/cm3.ItwasdeterminedthattherearemanydifferentprocessingconditionsthatcanproducemicrocellularABSfoamsthathavethesamedensity.Thecellnucleationdensitywasoftheorderof10cellspercm3,andtheaveragecellsizesobservedrangedfrom0.5umto5.6um.

INTRODUCTION

EXPERIMENTAL

CommerciallyavailableCycolacGPX3700ABS,manufacturedbyGeneralElectricwasusedinthisstudy.Allofthespecimenswereproducedfrom1.5mmthicksheetwithnaturalcolour.Theunprocessedmaterialhasadensityof1.04g/cm3,andaglasstransitionstemperatureofabout116℃.

Solubilityanddiffusivitymeasurements

Specimenswerecutfrom1.5mmthicksheettodimensionsof2.5x2.5cm.Eachsamplewasthensaturatedinapressurevesselat26.7℃（80°F）controlledto±1℃.Thetemperatureandpressureusedtosaturatethespecimenswillbereferredtoasthesaturationtemperatureandsaturationpressurerespectively.Thesaturationpressurewascontrolledtowithin±35kPa（±5psi）.Thesampleswereperiodicallyremovedfromthepressurevesselandweighedonaprecisionbalancewithaccuracyof±10ugtodeterminetheamountofgasabsorbed.Becausetheamountofgasabsorbedbythesampleswasontheorderof10mg,thismethodprovidedsufficientaccuracy.

Desorptionmeasurementsweremadefromfullysaturatedsamples.AfterreachingequilibriumC02concentration,thesampleswereallowedtodesorbtheC02whileheldat26.7℃（80°F）andatmosphericpressure.Duringthedesorptionexperiments,thesampleswereweighedonaprecisionbalancetodeterminetheremainingC02concentration.

Determinationofcellsizeandcellnucleationdensity

Theaveragecellsize,cellsizedistribution,andnumberofbubblesperunitvolumeoffoamweredeterminedbySaltikov'smethoddescribedindetailbyUndenvood.Saltikov'smethodallowsthecharacteristicsofathreedimensionaldistributionofspherestobeestimatedfromatwodimensionalimage,suchasamicrograph.Previouslyitwasassumedthatthefractureplanepassedthroughthecentreofallbubblesinamicrograph,introducingasmallerrorintheestimationoftheaveragecellsize.cellsizedistribution,andcellnucleationdensity.Inaddition,itwasalsoassumedpreviouslythatthenumberofbubblesperunitvolume（i.e.bubbledensity）couldbedeterminedbycubingthelinedensity.Saltikov'smethodprovidesamorerobustprocedureforestimatingthebubbledensity,andisapplicabletoawiderrangeofmicrostructures.Saltikov'smethodwasimplementedbydigitizinganSEMmicrographwithapproximately200bubbles,andusingNlHlmagetodeterminetheareasofthebubbles.NIHImageisapublicdomainimageprocessingandanalysisprogramdevelopedattheResearchServicesBranch（RSB）oftheNationallnstituteofMentalHealth（NIMH）,partoftheNationalInstitutesofHealth（NIH）.ThemeanbubblediameterandstandarddeviationsreportedinthispaperarebasedonthelognormaldistributionproposedbySaltikov.
