Features: Foam plastic is lightweight, has high specific strength, and exhibits excellent insulation, sound insulation, and cushioning properties. It is widely used in industrial, agricultural, and many high-tech fields. This manual not only comprehensively analyzes the structure and properties of foam plastic, the types and selection criteria of blowing agents, but also elaborates in detail on the foaming molding technology and applications of polymers such as polystyrene, rigid/soft polyurethane, rigid/soft polyvinyl chloride, and polyolefin sponge rubber. Finally, it introduces the new technology of polymer foaming—microporous foam plastic molding. It also covers recycling technologies for various types of foam plastics. This manual combines theory and practice, with practical content, making it suitable for reference by faculty and students of higher education institutions and engineering technicians engaged in foam plastic molding and processing.
