Preparing High-Performance Auxetic Foam Directly From Polymer Resin By One-Step CO₂ Foaming Process

Abstract: Three kinds of plasticizers were used to promote the crystallization of TPU rigid segment. It was beneficial to increasing expansion ratio and cell density of TPU foam. Otherwise, thermal treatment was designed to control crystallization of TPU. It was helpful to improve expansion ratio and anti-shrinkage of TPU foam.
