Author Description

"Polymeric foams are an important industrial product category with wide applications across many market sectors including automotive, thermal insulation, sound insulation, biomedical, energy, and sensors, to name a few. This book will cover the materials, chemistry, technology, and applications of various types of polymeric foams, including an overview of the foaming mechanism, technologies, applications, and current challenges. Volume 1 focuses on the fundamentals and types of foams, while volume 2 addresses applications. Currently, no book covers all aspects of polymeric foams; this material fills a void on this timely topic and will be a valuable resource for polymer and materials scientists and chemists working in these areas."--
