Improving Welding Behavior of ETPU Bead Foams by Surface Modification with Plasticizers

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Tributyl citrate (TBC) and stearic acid (SA) modify ETPU beads through different diffusion mechanisms. TBC diffuses the bead structure directly after coating, whereas SA remains on the surface until melting and subsequent diffusion during heating. The resulting plasticization improves bead fusion, allowing RF processing at reduced temperature and ...
