چکیده
In this letter, elastic properties of highly anisotropic cellular poly(propylene) films are reported. The material shows peculiar elastic properties compared to other foams in the literature. The data is displayed as the relative Young’s modulusE∗/Es versus relative density ρ∗/ρs. Almost all the data from the literature are located on the region E∗/Es = (ρ ∗/ρs) n with 1 ≤ n ≤ 6. The introduced material on the other hand have lower relative Young’s modulus at high relative densities, n ≥ 6.

The linear elastic properties of microcellular foams
The mechanical behaviour of a new type of open-cell foam made by a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process was investigated. Foams made by the TIPS process are characterized by cell sizes which are 10-100 times smaller than conventional foam materials. In this work, the linear elastic modulus of these foams in dynamic tension/compression was measured. A comparison was made with the th...
متن کاملMechanical properties of highly porous PDLLA/Bioglass composite foams as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
This study developed highly porous degradable composites as potential scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. These scaffolds consisted of poly-D,L-lactic acid filled with 2 and 15 vol.% of 45S5 Bioglass particles and were produced via thermally induced solid-liquid phase separation and subsequent solvent sublimation. The scaffolds had a bimodal and anisotropic pore structure, with tubular macro...

The work focuses on research related to determination of application possibility of new, ecofriendly boroorganic polyols in rigid polyurethane foams production. Polyols were obtained from hydroxypropyl urea derivatives esterified with boric acid and propylene carbonate. The influence of esterification type on properties of polyols and next on polyurethane foams properties was determined. Nitrog...
متن کاملLocalization of folds and cracks in thin metal films coated on flexible elastomer foams.
Thin metal films coated on soft elastomeric foam substrates exhibit enhanced electromechanical performance. The open-cell foam structure conveys highly anisotropic mechanical properties within the top, thin capping elastomer at the surface of the foam. Upon stretching, large strain fields inducing cracks and folds localize above the foam cells, while the surrounding cell ligaments remain almost...
متن کاملA Nondestructive Electrical Method for Evaluating Mechanical Properties of Al-foam
Al alloy foams of composition Al-3wt.%Si-2%Cu-2%Mg was produced using powder metallurgical method. Mechanical properties of foams having different density were measured using uni-axial compression test and the measured properties such as elastic modulus and strength were compared with those of other existing commercial foams. The newly produced (Al-3%Si-2%Cu-2%Mg alloy) foams showed comparable ...
