Phenolic Based Foams : Preparation, Characterization, and Applications Paperback / softback

Edited by Sandhya P.K, Sreekala M.S., Sabu Thomas

Part of the Gels Horizons: From Science to Smart Materials series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book covers the latest developments in phenolic foams and their applications.

Compared with polystyrene and polyurethane foams, phenolic foams are known as third-generation polymeric foams.

Phenolic foams exhibit excellent fire-retardant properties, including low flammability, low peak heat release rate, no dripping during combustion, and low toxicity.

This book discusses various aspects of phenolic foams including properties, synthesis, fabrication methodologies, and applications.

The contents also cover the methods for toughening of phenolic foams to make them more widely applicable.

This book is of interest to both academics and industry alike.

It is also a useful reference for fire safety regulators and policy-makers looking for new materials and methods for sustainable fire protection.
