Series: Polymeric Foams

Polymeric foams are sturdy yet lightweight materials with applications across a variety of industries, from packaging to aerospace. As demand for these materials increase, so does innovation in the development of new processes and products. This book captures the most dynamic advances in processes, technologies, and products related to the polymeric foam market. It describes the latest business trends including new microcellular commercialization, sustainable foam products, and nanofoams. It also discusses novel processes, new and environmentally friendly blowing agents, and the development and usage of various types of foams, including bead and polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyetherimide microcellular, and nanocellular. The book also covers flame-retardant foams, rigid foam composites, and foam sandwich composites and details applications in structural engineering, electronics, and insulation. Authored by leading experts in the field, this book minimizes the gap between research and application in this important and growing area.

Reviews for Polymeric Foams: Innovations in Processes, Technologies, and Products

...not only informative, but thought-provoking. A 'must-have' reference to stay abreast of what is happening and emerging for polymeric foams and products. - Lih-Sheng (Tom) Turng, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA ...contains a comprehensive literature selection and very scientific descriptions for current approaches in foaming. Furthermore, the most recent developments in foam technology like foam extrusion and bead foaming of Polylactide (PLA) as well as nanocellular foams are part of the book. In general, the selection of topics is very meaningful and scientifically and technically highly relevant. -Volker Altstadt, University of Bayreuth, Germany ...features a comprehensive introduction...on state-of-the-art developments related to polymer foams and some emerging technologies as well as a future outlook, followed by product developments and material-specific foams and simulation....A must-have reference to stay abreast of what is happening and emerging for polymeric foams and products. -Lih-Sheng (Tom) Turng, University of Wisconsin-Madison
