4. Influence of material on morphology
The type of polymer, the presence of fillers, the type of blowing agent (chemical) or the type of gas (physical) are key elements that affect the part's morphology.
4.1 Influence of loads
Fillers or fibers can improve the properties of the polymer, but they can also modify the cellular structure of the lightweight.
