Indeed, it is hard to think of any industries where polymer foams do not have a part to play. They can be found for example in sports and leisure products, in military applications, in vehicles, in aircraft, and in the home. Most people will encounter polymer foams every day in one form or another, whether it be in furniture, in packaging, in their car, in refrigerator insulation, or in some other common application. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough naturally occurring polymer foams have been known for a long time, (e.g., sponges, cork), synthetic polymer foams have only been introduced to the market over the last fifty years or so. The development of a new polymer has usually been quickly followed by its production in an expanded or foam form owing to the unique and useful properties, which can be realised in the expanded state. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Handbook reviews the chemistry, manufacturing methods, properties and applications of the synthetic polymer foams used in most applications. In addition, a chapter is included on the fundamental principles, which apply to all polymer foams. There is also a chapter on the blowing agents used to expand polymers, blowing agents having undergone considerable change and development in recent years in order to meet the requirements of the Montreal Protocol in relation to the reduction and elimination of chloroflurocarbons (CFC) and other ozone depleting agents. A chapter is also included on microcellular foams - a relatively new development where applications are still being explored. Most chapters have references to facilitate further exploration of the topics. The chapters are all written by experts in the field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to those just embarking upon an exploration of the subject of foams, whether in industry or academia. But this will be equally useful to those already working in the field, who need to know about different types of foam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of

Indeed, it is hard to think of any industries where polymer foams do not have a part to play. They can be found for example in sports and leisure products, in military applications, in vehicles, in aircraft, and in the home. Most people will encounter polymer foams every day in one form or another, whether it be in furniture, in packaging, in their car, in refrigerator insulation, or in some other common application. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough naturally occurring polymer foams have been known for a long time, (e.g., sponges, cork), synthetic polymer foams have only been introduced to the market over the last fifty years or so. The development of a new polymer has usually been quickly followed by its production in an expanded or foam form owing to the unique and useful properties, which can be realised in the expanded state. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Handbook reviews the chemistry, manufacturing methods, properties and applications of the synthetic polymer foams used in most applications. In addition, a chapter is included on the fundamental principles, which apply to all polymer foams. There is also a chapter on the blowing agents used to expand polymers, blowing agents having undergone considerable change and development in recent years in order to meet the requirements of the Montreal Protocol in relation to the reduction and elimination of chloroflurocarbons (CFC) and other ozone depleting agents. A chapter is also included on microcellular foams - a relatively new development where applications are still being explored. Most chapters have references to facilitate further exploration of the topics. The chapters are all written by experts in the field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to those just embarking upon an exploration of the subject of foams, whether in industry or academia. But this will be equally useful to those already working in the field, who need to know about different types of foam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of

on-demand upon exposure to the external stimulus. The discovery of SMP made a significant breakthrough in the developments of novel smart materials for a variety of engineering applications, superseded the traditional materials, and also influenced the current methods of product designing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides the latest advanced information on on-going research domains of SMP. This will certainly enlighten the reader to the achievements and tremendous potentials of SMP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe basic fundamentals of SMP, including shape-memory mechanisms and mechanics, are described. This will aid the reader to become more familiar with SMP and the basic concepts, thus guiding them in undergoing independent research in the SMP field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also provides the reader with associated challenges and existing application problems of SMP. This could assist the reader to focus more on these issues and further exploit their knowledge to look for innovative solutions. Future outlooks of SMP research are discussed as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book should prove to be extremely useful for academics, R\u0026amp;D managers, researcher scientists, engineers, and all others related to the SMP research.\n\u003ch5\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e1.2 Shape-memory Effect\u003cbr\u003e1.2.1 Shape-memory Effect in Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.2.2 Shape-memory Effect in Shape-memory Polymers and Shape-memory Alloys\u003cbr\u003e1.3 Structure of Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.3.1 Thermally Induced Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e1.3.2 Athermal Shape-memory Polymers \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Classification of Shape-memory Polymers \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Conclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Shape-memory Polymers: Molecular Design, Shape-memory Functionality, and Programming\u003cbr\u003e2.1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2.2 Molecular Design of Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1 Thermally Sensitive Shape-memory Polymers\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.1 Shape-memory Polymers based on the\u003cbr\u003eAmorphous Phase\u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.2 Shape-memory Polymers based on Semi-crystalline Phase \u003cbr\u003e2.2.1.3 Shape-memory Polymers based on Liquid Crystalline Phase\u003cbr\u003e2.2.2.
