Describing all classes of polymeric foams, including their chemistry, synthesis, commercial production methods, properties, and applications, this handbook is designed to support engineers in their efforts to develop practical solutions for industrial design and manufacturing challenges. Since the previous edition of this book over a decade ago, many of the industry’s most pressing problems, which include environmentally acceptable blowing agents, combustibility, and solid waste disposal, have been addressed and significant progress has been made. The new edition reflects these developments as well as several new classes of foams brought to industrial application in recent years.
Polymer foam is a large and diverse industry that touches almost every aspect of daily life. The material finds use in numerous items, from hot-drink cups and food containers to running shoes, furniture, automotive seating, and window frames. Few materials are as versatile or as widely used. Compiling a text on as wide-ranging a topic as this is challenging, but Dr. Daniel Klempner and Dr. Vahid Sendijarevic have co-authored a book that is comprehensive, up-to-date, and readable. The 584-page Polymeric Foams and Foam Technology is the second edition of this title, which Klempner, affiliated with the University of Detroit Mercy, and Sendijarevic, of Troy Polymers Inc., originally published a decade ago. The new edition covers the basics of process technology, looks at the latest developments in chemistry, and includes advances in critical regulatory areas like blowing agents, combustibility, and solid-waste disposal. Written with input from 20 contributors, the book is primarily for scientists, engineers, and academics, yet is also useful for product marketers who must keep current with developments in foam technology.
