Overview

This text is about the requisite nature of the polymer, the method of selecting a foaming agent, the type of process that can be used to produce a controllable commercial foam, the dynamics of bubble nucleation and growth, the nature of bubble stabillity, the effect cell structure has on foam performance when compared with un-foamed polymer, and the competition to foam. The result of nearly three decades of foam process and product experience such as; polystyrene burger boxes, polypropylene slab and sheet for shock mitigation and packaging, polyamide-imide for high-temperature laminating cores, polyethylene terephthalate for fiber fill, polystyrene toilet seats, polypropylene baseball bats, polyethylene oars, polypropylene automotive trunkliners and visors, this book covers applications and theory of this successful and commercial type of foam. Also included are trouble-shooting guidelines and design rule-of thumb.
