Abstract

Foam injection molded samples were produced from recycled polyethylene-terephthalate using endothermic and exothermic foaming agents at different mold temperatures. The foam structure was analyzed by computer tomography and optical microscopy. The morphological properties of samples were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, using the three-phase model. Viscosities of the melts were changed during processing by endothermic and exothermic foaming agents, and as a result different foam structures were formed. Relationships between mold temperature and porosity were found. Morphologies of the samples made with different foaming agents were different, also due to the different cooling rates caused by the endothermic and exothermic foaming reactions.
