Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) sheets were radiated by60Co γ-ray in air and then irradiated PMMA foams were successfully prepared by supercritical CO2(SC CO2) as a physical blowing agent via pressure quench method. The effects of radiation dose on the cell morphology and structure of the obtained foams were studied. The results showed that the foams possessed spherically closed cell structure with uniform cell size. The γ-ray irradiated PMMA sheets had a high cell density than those virgin PMMA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
