Foams
7/30/2008
“The most general definition of foam is a substance that is formed by trapping many gas bubbles in a liquid or solid It can also refer to anything that is analogous to such a phenomenon, such as quantum foam Often the term is used in reference to polyurethane foam (foam rubber), XPS foam, Styrofoam or some other manufactured foam. It can be considered a type of colloid.
From the early 20th century, various types of specially manufactured solid
foams came into use. The low density of these foams made them excellent as
thermal insulators and flotation devices, and their lightness and
compressibility made them ideal as packing materials and stuffings. Some liquid
foams, called fire retardant foams, found use in extinguishing fires, especially
oil fires.”
