Abstract

A new method for fabricating polystyrene ICF targets has been investigated. A solid solution of polystyrene (PS) containing a chemical blowing agent (CBA) is divided into small granules. These granules are blown into spherical shells in a vertical furnace. By varying the type and amount of CBA as well as furnace parameters, we have been able to produce PS shells 200–600 μm in diameter with wall thicknesses from 4–20 μm.
