The effects of type of foamed material, kind of foaming agent used and the foaming process conditions on mechanical properties, morphology and useful properties of various plastics were evaluated. The examples of microcellular materials characterized with low density and simultaneously high dimensional stability, stiffness and good strength characteristics, in relation to weight, were given. These advantageous features promote the wide applications of microcellular polymer materials among others in automotive industry, industrial casings, sports equipment, transport as well as in decorative and textile industries.

Among others, natural and wood fibre reinforced foamed polymer materials are ...
