Abstract
The polycarbonate (PC)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) (10/90) blends with microcellular foams were prepared by the two-step process using supercritical carbon dioxide as physical foaming agent. The effects of saturation temperature, saturation pressure, foaming temperature, and foaming time on the cell morphology structure were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the mean diameter of cells in foamed PC/PMMA films decreased with the increment of saturation temperature and saturation pressure but increased with the increment of the foaming time. Moreover, the mean diameter of cells decreased first, but then increased with the increment of the foaming temperature. The cell density ( Nc) increased with the increment of saturation temperature and saturation pressure but decreased with the increment of the foaming time. However, the Nc increased first but then decreased with the increment of the foaming temperature.
