Fluorocarbon-driven pore size reduction in polyurethane foams: an effect of improved bubble entrainment Open
Polyurethane (PU) foams are created via the chemical reactions arising after the blending of two initially liquid components (polyols and isocyanates). They are widely used for thermal insulation, for which a small pore size is required. S…

Directing the pore size of rigid polyurethane foam via controlled air entrainment Open
The interest in polyurethane rigid (PUR) foams as potent thermally insulating materials for a wide range of applications continues to grow as the minimization of CO 2 emissions has become a global issue. Controlling the thermal insulation …
