title = "Investigating the foamability of low melt strength homopolymer linear PP and coupling agent by using nanoclay",
abstract = "In this work, the feasibility of producing microcellular foam by using linear polypropylene and different nanoclay contents has been investigated. A twin-screw extruder was used for nanocomposite compounding. An X-ray diffraction machine was utilized to observe the dispersion of nanoclay within the matrix. Shear viscosity of the samples was measured as well. Also, a single screw extruder was used for foaming by using 5\% supercritical CO2 in various die temperatures. SEM was utilized to explore the morphology of the foamed samples and foams with high expansion ratios of about 20 and high cell density of about 108-9 cells/cm3 were achieved.",
