In the past few years, ​concern for the environment and improved performance/cost ratio have driven foam ​markets into new products and manufacturing innovation. From construction insulation, foamed pipe and profiles, and flooring and furnishing​, to light-weighting of automotive components and packaging reduction, foams are conquering more of the plastics processing marketplace, adding reduced material use to cut costs and transportation by reduced weight. In addition, foams offer impact performance, sound and thermal insulation, cushioning and other valuable properties. What equipment is best? Which materials are suitable? How controllable is the structure? What chemical blowing agent or physical foaming process is best? Can existing equipment be adapted for foaming? These ​are some of the hot topics that will be reviewed at Polymer Foam 2019.

To date, carbon materials play a major role in a large number of highly specialized applications -as structural and functional materials- related with current industrial challenges. The underlying reasons for this are their flexible coordination chemistry that allows almost infinite possibilities of 3D structures, and their ability to react with other heteroatoms to incorporate functional groups that determine the self-organization, chemical stability and reactivity.

As in preceding meetings, the conference aims at bringing together the scientists, engineers and technologists and intends to provide a forum for discussion on fundamental and technological scientific aspects of carbon applications related to energy storage and environment protection. This conference is expected to stimulate fruitful discussion, new ideas and collaborations between specialists from various domains.
