520 The use of polymer foams is extremely widespread. Indeed,
it is hard to think of any industries where polymer foams
do not have a part to play. They can be found for example
in sports and leisure products, in military applications,
in vehicles, in aircraft, and in the home. Most people
will encounter polymer foams every day in one form or
another, whether it be in furniture, in packaging, in
their car, in refrigerator insulation, or in some other
common application. This handbook reviews the chemistry,
manufacturing methods, properties and applications of the
synthetic polymer foams used in most applications. In
addition, a chapter is included on the fundamental
principles, which apply to all polymer foams. There is
also a chapter on the blowing agents used to expand
polymers, blowing agents having undergone considerable
change and development in recent years in order to meet
the requirements of the Montreal Protocol in relation to
the reduction and elimination of chloroflurocarbons (CFC)
and other ozone depleting agents. A chapter is also
included on microcellular foams - a relatively new
development where applications are still being explored.
Most chapters have references to facilitate further
exploration of the topics. The chapters are all written by
experts in the field.
