Abstract

Bi-modal PS foams with various volume fractions of large cells ( fL), cell sizes and densities were prepared to investigate the effect of cell structures on the tensile and impact behaviors. The tensile results showed that for the similar density, the tensile strength and modulus decreased with the increase of fL, unless the cell size of large ones is smaller than 25 µm. Similarly, the impact experimental results showed that the impact strength decreased with increasing fL, unless the fL is in the range of 25–32%. It indicated that the bi-modal cell structure could lead to the better properties than that of uniform one, when the cell morphology was proper ( fL in the range of 25–32% and the cell size of large ones smaller than 25 µm). The SEM images of impact-fractured surface of bi-modal foams further confirmed that the cell morphology with fL of 32% was more favorable to the absorption of impact energy during the fracture process.
