What is meant by "blowing the cells open," and how can this event be controlled?

What will be an ideal response?


"Blowing the cells open" is the conversion of closed cells to open cells by the rupturing of the cell walls. This can be controlled by controlling the amount and rate of expansion of the gas inside the cells. This control can be achieved by limiting the expansion of the mold in high-pressure foam molding. It can also be

controlled by reducing the temperature at which the foaming occurs. Other methods that limit the expansion of a gas, such as increasing the pressure under that expansion occurs, can also prevent blowing the cells open.
