Embodiment 1
[0023] A method for converting closed-cell foamed plastics to open-celled foamed plastics based on heat-driven shape memory effect, comprising the steps of:
[0024] Step 1, take a piece of closed-cell polymer foam, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) closed-cell foam, as a raw material for manufacturing, with a length and width of 100mm, a thickness of 25mm, and a glass transition temperature of 80°C;
[0025] Step 2, compress the piece of closed-cell foam to 20% strain at room temperature, and then release the load;
[0026] Step 3, the compressed foam is heated at a temperature above its glass transition temperature for 3 to 10 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature. At this point the foam has transformed into an open cell foam.
Embodiment 2
[0028] A method for converting closed-cell foamed plastics to open-celled foamed plastics based on heat-driven shape memory effect, comprising the steps of:
[0029] Step 1, take a piece of closed-cell polymer foam, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) closed-cell foam as a raw material for manufacturing, with a length and width of 50 cm, a thickness of 10 cm, and a glass transition temperature of 100 °C;
[0030] Step 2, compressing the sheet of closed-cell foam above its glass transition temperature to 50% strain, followed by releasing the load;
[0031] Step 3, the compressed foam was heated above its glass transition temperature for 1 minute and then cooled to room temperature. At this point the foam has transformed into an open cell foam.
Embodiment 3
[0033] A method for converting closed-cell foamed plastics to open-celled foamed plastics based on heat-driven shape memory effect, comprising the steps of:
[0034] Step 1, take a piece of rectangular polystyrene (PS) closed-cell foam, which is 200mm long, 300mm wide, 50mm thick, and has a glass transition temperature of 150°C;
[0035] Step 2, compressing the sheet of closed-cell foam above its glass transition temperature to 80% strain, followed by releasing the load;
[0036] Step 3, the compressed foam was heated above its glass transition temperature for 15 minutes and then cooled to room temperature. At this point the foam has transformed into an open cell foam.
