dcterms.abstractThe quantitative study of the structure and properties relationship in cellular materials is mostly limited to cell diameter, cell density, skin layer thickness, and cell size distribution. In addition, the investigation of the morphology is generally carried out in two dimensions. Therefore, the interrelation between morphological properties and mechanical characteristics of the foam structure has remained in an uncertain state. In this study, during the physical foaming process, a foam morphology is locally created by using a mold equipped with a core-back insert. The variation in morphology is obtained by modifying the mold temperature, injection flow rate, and blowing agent content in the polymer melt. X-ray microtomography (μCT) is used to acquire the 3D visualization of the cells structure. The Cell Distribution Index (CDI) is calculated to represent the polydispersity in cell size distribution. The relationship between the wide range of morphological qualities and relevant flexural properties is made explicit via a statistical model. According to the results, the morphology, particularly cell shape, characterizes the mechanism of the linear elastic deformation of the closed-cell foams. IR-thermography reveals the bending failure of cellular structures in the tensile region despite the differences in cell diameter.eng
