Abstract: Using a home-made dynamic simulation foaming extrusion equipment,experiments of PS micro-foaming were carried out with different temperature, pressure, and force fields. Microccllular structure of PS was obtained at 8 MPa. The temperature necessary for producing open-cells was found to be
150℃,160℃,and 165℃for pressures of 16 MPa,12 MPa, and 10 MPa, respectively. The addition of a vibration force field improved the cell nucleation.八t the same time, the vibration lowered the opcncell temperature. The open-cell temperature would be lower when the amplitude and frequency wereimproved.

Key words: polystyrene, microccllular plastics, cell morphology, vibration force field
