Polymeric Foams: Technology and Developments in Regulation, Process, and Products

Since the 1960s, polymeric foams have grown into a solid industry that affects almost every aspect of modern life. The industry has weathered the energy crisis in the '70s, ozone issues in the '80s, and recycle/reuse in the '90s. However, the pace of development and social climate is rapidly changing again, putting the spotlight even more firmly on performance, sustainable resources, and energy security. Exploring new concepts, innovations, and developments in the field, Polymeric Foams: Technology and Developments in Regulation, Process, and Products provides an international perspective on the direction of foam technologies and applications.
