Insulating polymeric foams have an important role to play in increasing energy efficiency
and therefore contributing to combating climate change. Their development in recent years …

In this review, we survey the state of the art on polymeric foams incorporating nano-scale
fillers. Particular focus of the review is on foams from polyolefinic nanocomposite …

The influence of foaming a semi-crystalline polymer reinforced with different concentrations
of carbon nanofibres (0–20wt.%) on the formation of an electrically conductive network was …

Novel lightweight composite foams based on recycled polypropylene reinforced with
cellulosic fibres obtained from agricultural residues were prepared and characterized. These …

Polypropylene (PP) foams have become essential items due to their excellent properties.
Nevertheless, obtaining net-shaped PP foams with medium relative densities is a …

This work presents new results on using organoclay with an appropriate polymeric
compatibilizer as rheology‐modifying additives for extrusion foaming of a linear …

The present work deals with the development of new rigid polypropylene composite foams
filled with high amounts of flame-retardant systems based on synthetic hydromagnesite, a …

This work considers the preparation and characterization of polypropylene foams with
variable concentrations of graphene and carbon nanofibres, focussing on the influence of …

This book focuses on the subject of foams generated with polymer nanocomposite materials.
Polymer nanocomposites have been developed continuously for the last two decades …

Polymeric foams are a key element of many multifunctional sandwich structures. The most
commonly used polymeric foam, polyurethane, presents environmental drawbacks, related …
