Abstract
|
In this work, styrene/methyl methacrylate (St/MMA) copolymer particles were synthesized by suspension polymerization process with different copolymer compositions to study the visual batch foaming dynamics. The visualization system consisted of the self-sealing observation cell equipped to the pressure and temperature controller. The synthesized copolymer particles were impregnated by n-pentane, followed by recording of particle expansion. The cell structure of foams was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of different foaming conditions on the expansion behavior of copolymers was examined.
