“…This structure could reduce the weight of the material, and it endows the material with higher toughness, impact strength, and dimensional accuracy [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], which is meaningful to the requirement of lightweight. Nylon (PA)-based composites are an important engineering material with excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, and processability [ 14 ], particularly glass fiber-reinforced nylon (GF/PA). Adding the glass fiber into the PA matrix could achieve increased load-bearing capacity and mechanical properties because the fibers retard the rapid growth of cracks [ 15 , 16 ].…”

The automobile and aerospace industries require lightweight and high-strength structural parts. Nylon-based microcellular foamed composites have the characteristics of high strength and the advantages of being lightweight as well as having a low production cost and high product dimensional accuracy. In this work, the glass fiber-reinforced nylon foams were prepared through microcellular injection molding with supercritical fluid as the blowing agent. The tensile strength and weight loss ratio of microcellular foaming composites with various injection rates, temperatures, and volumes were investigated through orthogonal experiments. Moreover, the correlations between dielectric constant and injection volume were also studied. The results showed that the “slow–fast” injection rate, increased temperature, and injection volume were beneficial to improving the tensile strength and strength/weight ratios. Meanwhile, the dielectric constant can be decreased by building the microcellular structure in nylon, which is associated with the weight loss ratio extent closely.

“…However, this data has not been calculated. 47 The T g cannot be clearly seen for the neat PPA or the composites from the DSC curve, although it has been reported at 117 C for the unlled PPA. 22 A small exothermic peak is also observed in all the composites, which decreases in height in more highly loaded composites.…”

Recently, functional applications of thermoplastic foams have received extensive attention from the research and materials communities, focusing on their various applications, key challenges, material systems designs, processing methods, and cellular structure characteristics needed for specific functional applications. This review paper starts with consideration of the microcellular foaming mechanism and basic concepts of microcellular foam processing, followed by polymer modification methods, and crucial factors that determine the performance of thermoplastic foams. Special emphasis has been placed on the synergies between foaming and reinforcements, including functional fillers and polymer blends; improvements in homogeneous, functional properties by achieving uniform cell structure and cell dispersion in polymer systems; and comparison of melt processing and solvent-based methods. Then, a wide array of advanced functional applications for foams-such as lightweight applications, heat and sound insulation, electromagnetic shielding, tissue engineering, oil spill cleanup, shape memory, and flexible materials-will be presented. In particular, the relationships between cellular structure and anticipated properties-including mechanical, barrier, dielectric, biomedical, and other properties required in advanced functional applications-will be discussed. Finally, we will outline a future perspective of lightweight and functional foams and suggest recommended future work regarding functional microcellular foams.
