Preparation of PMP Foam Doped with Copper Nanopowders

“…L ow density, microcellular polymer foam is used in a variety of high energy physics experiments, such as laser-material interaction studies and equation of state (EOS) measurements [1][2][3][4][5]. To measure temperature, the presence of diagnostic dopants (usually high atomic number material) is necessary.…”
