Influence of the composition and synthesis technology on the physical chemical and performance properties of foam materials

Abstract

The comparative analysis of a combination of primary properties of foam materials made using the different starting components and technologies was made. According to the review of the literature and analysis of the experimental data, the paper shows a significant influence the starting components and process approaches have on the properties of the materials. The comparison of material properties revealed that the properties of syntactic carbon foams are higher than those of other porous materials, including metal foams, and comply with the specification.
