Low-density foam materials from styrene-divinylbenzene inverse emulsions. Final report.

摘要

This report documents the research and development work conducted by the Materials Research and Production Group of the LLNL ICF Program's Special Projects Group between 1985 and 1989. A foam material composed of heavily cross linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene was prepared from an inverse emulsion of the monomers in water. Final foam densities as low as 25mg/cm(sup 3) were obtained; cell sizes were not greater than 2 to 3 (mu)m. This report documents procedures and characterization of the final material.
