Abstract: Foamed sheet with width of 300 mm of polypropylene(PP) modified by nano-clay and high-melt-strength propylene was extrusion foamed with supercritical CO2 as foaming agent. Effect of CO2 content, die temperature, and nano-clay on the sheet density and cell density was researched. Results showed that nano-clay can improve the quality of the PP foam sheet. The sheet density and cell density were 0.454g/cm3 and 3.37×107 cells/cm3 respectively when the gas injection shift was 0.5 and mold mold temperature was 157 ℃.

Key words: polypropylene, supercritical CO2, extrusion foaming, processing technology
