Abstract In this work, we systematically investigated the foaming behavior of polymethyl methacrylate nano-cellular foams during the process of supercritical CO2 assisted solid-state foaming with varied blends micelle sizes which was tailored by adding the dual block copolymer of polystyrene-PMMA. According to the "self-assembly" of block copolymer, specimens with various micelle sizes were prepared by controlling the block ratio, and characterized by TEM. The results revealed that micelle size of the polymer blends increases with increasing block ratio. Furthermore, the cell morphologies of the resultant polymer foams was determined by SEM analysis, and confirmed the significant influence of micelle size on foaming behavior. It should be noted that the small size of micelle leads to poor cell distribution. When micelle size and cell size are at the same order of magnitude, the uniform cell morphology can be obtained. In addition, nano-cellular foams for high expansion and uniform cell distribution can be achieved due to the increase of micelle number.
