Polymeric Foams

TRAMA

The first in a new series on polymeric foams, Polymeric Foams: Mechanisms and Materials provides the basics of foaming, addressing scientific principles and engineering parameters alongside their fundamental material characteristics and shared mechanisms of both thermoplastic and thermoset polyurethane foams, traditionally approached separately in the industry. This book is a convenient and straightforward foundation to engineers and researchers in the foam industry as well as those in other industries that benefit from polymeric foams. Well-organized chapters written by an international collection of well-known practitioners and academics compile previously scattered information on polymeric foaming mechanisms, corresponding chemistry and physics, valuable resin and blowing agents, and the latest advances in foams research.

NOTE EDITORE

This book is the inaugural volume a series entitled Polymeric Foams: Technology and Applications. Generally, thermoplastic and thermoset foams have been treated as two separate practices in industry. Polymeric Foams: Mechanisms and Materials presents the basics of foaming in general build a strong foundation to those working in both thermoplastic and thermoset foams. The book addresses scientific principles behind polymeric foaming and presents foaming chemistry and physics, resin and blowing agents, and foaming mechanisms in separate chapters, thus providing an overall and fundamental understanding of foaming for polymeric foam products and processes.
