ABS foams were produced using carbon dioxide in a solid-state process. Solubility and diffusivity of C02 in ABS was measured, and the latter was found to depend significantly on the gas concentration. The useful range of process-space for ABS-CO2 was characterized. Closed cell ABS foams were produced with densities ranging from 1.03 g/cm3 (almost completely solid) to 0.09g/cm3.It was determined that there are many different processing conditions that can produce microcellular ABS foams that have the same density. The cell nucleation density was of the order of 10 cells per cm3, and the average cell sizes observed ranged from 0.5 um to 5.6 um. INTRODUCTION ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) has grown to become one of the most widely used thermoplastic in the world because of the wide range of available properties. ease of processing, and a good balance between price and performance. ABS is an amorphous copolymer alloy, with acrylonitrile bringing chemical resistance and heat stability, butadiene bringing toughness, and styrene providing good processing characteristics.These qualities provide an excellent engineering thermoplastic that is used for a wide range of products, including computer housings, automotive interiors, appliances, and building materials. In many applications, the solid ABS can be replaced by relatively high density microcellular foams, since the properties of solid ABS are not fully utilized. Currently, the only process than can produce foams suitable for thin cross-sections is the solid-state microcellular process originally dev
