et al.

Abstract: Reducing the CO2 emissions of plastic parts is crucial in terms of sustainable product and process designs. Approaches include the use of recycled materials and reducing the energy demands of processes through more efficient technologies. In this context, this study shows the potential of the steam-free processing of particle foam beads into thin-walled moulded parts. Expanded polypropylene (EPP) particle foam beads have been processed in both a steam-free and steam-based process. For this purpose, specimens w… Show more
