In recent years, the novel foaming material is developed rapidly and gradually becomes a novel foaming material for replacing the foaming polystyrene, and is widely applied to industries such as automobiles, packaging, toys, home furnishings, buildings and the like. However, since polypropylene has high crystallinity, resin hardly flows at a temperature lower than the melting point, its melt strength drastically decreases at a temperature higher than the melting point, and it is difficult for a thin and visco-elastic polypropylene melt to hold the blowing agent gas molecules, a low density (. Ltoreq.0.045 g/cm) cannot be achieved at a time during the foaming process 3 ) Uniformly cellular expanded beads.
Currently, to obtain a polypropylene foam material with high strength and low density, researchers have improved its performance by a variety of approaches:
