“…PolyHIPE foams have relatively homogeneous pore distributions without a rigid template and high mechanical strengths. [80][81][82] Briefly, HIPEs are a combination of two immiscible liquids, generally known as the oil and water phases, which is stabilized by a surfactant. The hydrophobicity or lipophilicity of the surfactant determines what type of HIPE will be formed: oil-in-water (o/w) or waterin-oil (w/o).…”

This review describes and categorizes the synthesis and properties of low density porous materials, which are commonly referred to as foams and are utilized for laser plasma experiments. By focusing a high-power laser on a small target composed of these materials, high energy and density states can be produced. In the past decade or so, various new target fabrication techniques have been developed by many laboratories that use high energy lasers and consequently, many publications and reviews followed these developments. However, the emphasis so far has been on targets that did not utilize low density porous materials. This review therefore, attempts to redress this balance and endeavors to review low density materials used in laser plasma experiments in recent years. The emphasis of this review will be on aspects of low density materials that are of relevance to high energy laser plasma experiments. Aspects of low density materials such as densities, elemental compositions, macroscopic structures, nanostructures, and characterization of these materials will be covered. Also, there will be a brief mention of how these aspects affect the results in laser plasma experiments and the constrictions that these requirements put on the fabrication of low density materials relevant to this field. This review is written from the chemists' point of view to aid physicists and the new comers to this field.

“…A detailed description of the fabrication and metrology of the direct drive cylinder targets is provided elsewhere. 1 There are several dimensional measurements to be made. Densities of ablators, markers, and foams are determined by columnar densitometers with typical ±5% accuracy.…”

Hydrodynamic experiments in cylindrical geometry are used to study both mix (compressible, in convergent geometry) and mode coupling (impact of short wavelengths on long). For both types of experiments, knowledge of the initial conditions (the surface roughness spectrum, amplitude versus wavelength, as well as all target metrology) is very important. This paper is a discussion of the techniques and efforts to document and understand our initial conditions and their uncertainties and how well we can control them.
