phr CBA loading was observed via optical microscopy as shown in<br />

Figure 4. All samples showed the oval shape and homogeneous<br />

closed-cell structure. In other words, each cell is surrounded by<br />

connected faces with any ruptures. CBA started to decompose at<br />

temperature higher than 135 ºC and released a gas in the<br />

nanocomposite system, which can cause the bubble nucleation and<br />

growth from the surface of CNFs used as a nucleant. [10,11] In addition,<br />

to achieve the closed-cell system, the nanocomposite should have a<br />

sufficient melt viscosity and strength not so as to break the cell wall. [12]<br />

It thus can be thought that the presence of CNFs served as the<br />

efficient nucleation sites, as well as contributed to produce a closed-<br />

cell structure in foaming process. We also found that the average cell<br />

size was prominently increased as the blowing time and temperature<br />

increased. These two conditions facilitate the decomposition of blowing<br />

agent.<br />

In Table 2, we summarized the morphological parameters of PBS/2<br />

wt% CNFs nanocomposite foaming for 5 min. Average cell size (d) was<br />

calculated by measuring the maximum diameter of each cell<br />

perpendicular to the skin from an OM micrograph, and cell density (Nc)<br />

and mean cell-wall thickness (δ) are given by<br />
