The addition of a filler to improve nucleation rate propelled by the low energy of activation required in heterogeneous nucleation does provide a way to generate sub micron and nanocellular foams (5), The internal structure of the material and its rheological characteristics play an important role in determining the potential of a polymer to be used in making fine cell foams (7).
For this purpose in [12] low MM PEs were emulsified to separate the nucleation from the growth process and to remove macroscopic heterogeneous nucleation sites.
[FIGURE 3 OMITTED] There is no kinetic barrier to heterogeneous nucleation of bubbles; therefore, the exsolution surface (level in the chamber or conduit) is synonymous with the saturation surface because volatiles exsolve during magma ascent (Fig.
