RESUMO

This study describes an unpublished method to produce rigid foams with connected pores by the emulsion polymerization of the Methylmetacrylate monomer; and its technological feasibility in the manufature of moulds by the Slip Casting under Pressure. The main properties ofthe foams were successfully evaluated for the control of the permeability , the porosity and the pore size. The mechanical properties were evaluated for the compositions of two resins available on market and an experimental resin. The superior values of the Elastic Modulus of the foam made with the experimental resin show the efficiency of the methodology applied, specially for the production ofhigh molecular weight resins, and its influence on the foam s mechanical properties. Computerised Tomography was applied as a nondestructive test to identify internal bubbles; easy and prompt interpretation of the results made it possible to change accordingly. For several selected foams a simulation ofthe process of Slip Casting under Pressure was run; and the influence ofthe slip temperature, pressure and the foam permeability were analysed. The results, alone were sufficient to validate the process of Slip Casting under Pressure, characterised by a higher velocity than that of the traditional process
