Abstract: In order to enhance the quality of foaming products, in this paper, the influence of nucleating agent on the foam morphology were introduced. To elucidate the mechanism involving these nucleating agents, relative analysis and comparison were made and the effect of nucleating agents on cellular morphology was explored. The criteria for choosing a proper nucleating agent were particularly emphasized.

Key words: nucleating agent, microcellular foam, cell morphology, supercritical fluids
