Microcellular plastics are biodegradable plastics with various sustainability properties including thermal insulation, sound insulation, cushion, energy absorption, filtration, selective light transmission and diffusion, and tissue engineering scaffolds. The factors limiting the use of these plastics include higher material cost, and limited number of processing units. Microcellular plastics may replace the conventional plastics, if the extremely high cost won’t be a constraint for large ... Read more

Microcellular plastics, also known as microcellular foam, is a type of manufactured plastic, that is specially fabricated to occupy billions of small bubbles which are less than 50 microns in size. These plastics possess some of the unique properties that includes shorter cycle time, less material consumption and low residual stress. These plastics are very tough due to very closely packed structure. These plastics are biodegradable and possess sustainable properties but due to their ... Read more
