Abstract
Thermoplastic Structural Foams or TSF are considered as a class of foamed thermoplastics having a nearly uniform cellular core and integral high density skin. The results of this investigation showed no direct correlation between the impact characteristics of the low pressure TSF polycarbonate or polyphenylene oxide-based resin specimens. We conclude after studying the fractured test specimens, the nature of the fracture, and the load deflection curves, that the controlling factor in impact resistance in these single component low pressure TSF specimens is the localized distribution and size of the bubbles at the point of impact.
