Abstract

A new pulp-plastic microsphere composite which is applicable to the packaging of electronic equipment has been developed. This composite with a 10wt. % microsphere content has a compressive stress 80% lower than a conventional pulp mold at 50% compressive strain, and has almost the same compressive stress as that of styrene foam, which has a specific gravity of 0.02. The composite has a low compressive stress because the microspheres have a low specific gravity (0.02), and a shock absorbing property and the voids are uniformly distributed. The new pulp mold is promising as a material to replace styrene foam.
