摘要：Effect of CO2-philic additive additives PDMS and co-blowing agent alcohol on dynamic bubble growth behavior of supercritical CO2 assisted polymer foaming process, was investigated by using a visual observation system combined with numeric model. The addition of PDMS in PS accelerates the bubble nucleation and growth rate, and the bubble growth rate decreases with the increase of PDMS molecular weight. The bubble growth of polymer is mainly determined by the effect of PDMS on the solubility and diffusion of CO2, and the bubble growth model has a good agreement with the experimental values. When using alcohols as co-blowing agents, 1-butanol and 1-hexanol accelerates the bubble growth rate owing to the strong plasticizing effect on PS, resulting that the predicted bubble growth rate and bubble diameter has a deviation with the experimental data. Alcohol significantly decreased the diffusion coefficient of blowing agent, the bubble growth is controlled collectively by the dissolution and diffusion of blowing agent and the viscosity of polymer matrix after plasticizing.
