Abstract

Supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) was used as a physical foaming agent to prepare poly(vinylidene f luoride)/poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVDF/PVP) microstructure material. The effects of foaming conditions including saturation pressure, foaming temperature and foaming time on PVDF/PVP foams morphology, thermal and electrical behavior were systematically investigated by scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimeter and broadband dielectric spectrometer. Small cell and low cell density were achieved at low pressure of 12 MPa, as increasing saturation pressure, the average cell size increased first, and then decreased. The competition between the cell growth and cell nucleation played an important role in average cell size, which was directly related to ScCO2 processing conditions. With increasing foaming temperature, cell size was increased and cell density was decreased, in a nearly linear manner. The variation of foaming time was considered to be closely related to the time for cells to grow. Thus, the results revealed that the average cell size enhanced with extending foaming time. The thermal properties of PVDF/PVP composites are slightly inf luenced by foaming parameters, and the dielectric constant of PVDF/PVP composite foams decreased with increasing volume expansion ratio.
