Study Of The Feasibility Of Producing Expanded Polycarbonate Bead Foams (EPC) By Autoclave Bead Foaming

Abstract: Polycarbonate (PC) is a well-known engineering thermoplastic. Meanwhile, bead foaming technology is a technique to produce high-performance, low-density bead foams that can be molded in complex shapes. The present work collects, for the first time, the production of expanded polycarbonate bead foams (EPC) by autoclave bead foaming with CO2. The effect of the processing parameters (pressure, temperature, and time) on the characteristics of the EPC bead foams, is analyzed.

Biography: Ismael Sánchez-Calderón graduated in Physics at the University of Valladolid in 2018. After that, he studied a Master's degree in Physics with a specialization in Materials Physics at the University of Valladolid. Currently, he is doing his PhD at the Cellular Materials Laboratory (CellMat) of the University of Valladolid, under the supervision of Dr. Victoria Bernardo and Professor Dr. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez-Pérez. His thesis is focused on the production and characterization of cellular polymers. He is the author of one scientific publication, has participated in two international conferences and has collaborated in the generation of one patent.
