Melamine formaldehyde (MF) foam is a kind of fire-retardant material, which has many excellent properties. In this paper, the effect of foaming agent on foam-cell structure of MF foam was discussed, along with the compressive property, the water absorption and its thermo gravimetric behavior as well as its fire-retardant property behaved by limited oxygen index (LOI). Through the analysis of different factors affected on MF foam and its properties we hope to get practical products with good properties. Keywords: melamine foam; foaming agent; foam-structure; thermal property; fire-retardancy;
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
