Abstract
Rotational foam molding has attracted more and more attention due to the inexpensive machines required, low residual stresses, and flexible design for special and high-value-added applications. However, it is a great challenge to control cell sizes and morphology because of its coalesce and collapse during prolonged heating or at different temperatures. A novel tailored polyethylene blend with a unique chain structure for rotational foam molding was creatively proposed and demonstrated, and the effects of crystallization temperature and viscosity–temperature sensitivity on foaming were also investigated. The polyethylene blends with few chain branches in the low-molecular-weight part and many chain branches in the high-molecular-weight part effectively improved the crystallization temperature and the viscosity–temperature sensitivity for better prevention of coalesce and collapse during the foam-shaping stage.
