DSC Analysis for SCF Injection Foaming: How Thermal Properties Affect Processing and Product Quality

Introduction Differential scanning calorimetry, commonly called DSC, is one of the most useful analytical tools for evaluating polymers used in SCF injection foaming. In SCF injection, thermal behavior affects how a polymer melts, dissolves nitrogen, flows into the mold, nucleates cells, expands, forms a skin, crystallizes, stabilizes, and retains its final shape after demolding. DSC […]
