Abstract:

In this paper, supercritical CO2 was used as a foaming agent to investigate its dissolution and diffusivity in PPO/PS blends through a weight decay method. The effects of process parameter and PPO/PS composition on the solubility and diffusion coefficient of CO2 were systematically studied under static conditions. The quantitative relationship between the temperature, pressure, and PPO content and the CO2 solubility was established. The results indicated that the solubility of CO2 in PPO/PS blends increased with an increase in the PPO content and pressure but a decrease in temperature. The diffusion coefficient decreased with an increase in the PPO content but increased with an increase in temperature and saturation pressure.

Key words: polyphenylene ether, polystyrene, supercritical carbon dioxide, solubility, diffusion coefficient
