Abstract
Compressive creep experiments were performed on an EVAC foam from a running shoe. The recovery process after creep is discussed. Modelling was performed of gas diffusion perpendicular to the stress axis and along the stress axis. 16 refs.

Abstract
A factorial design was performed to determine the statistical effects of material compositions and extrusion processing variables on the foamability of PP/wood flour composites. The effect of variables on the void fraction of foamed composite samples were analysed using Design Expert software. 25 refs.
