COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Antifoam Theory. It covers the various types of polyolefins and structure, catalyst types, and industrial manufacture; the basic considerations on foams, foaming and foamed polymers; and the roles of expansion agents and surfactants in foam productions. 

 

 

During this inter active course, participants will learn the effect of processing on foam properties, the effect of polyolefin and co-polymer structure on foam properties; the effect of stress and environment factors on foam stability and performance; the common applications of polyolefin foams; using structure-property relationships to understand changes in foam properties; and the aforementioned structure-property relations to design new foam products.
