Handbook of Plastic Foams is intended to be a source of practical information on all types of plastic foams (cellular plastics) in use, including the new structural plastic foams.

Elastomer (rubber-like) foams are also considered.

Handbook of Plastic Foams is intended primarily for those who require a non-theoretical, authoritative, easy-to-use handbook in the subject area.

It should be of value to materials engineers, plastics fabricators, chemists, chemical engineers and students. Handbook of Plastic Foams is organized in such a way that information on a desired subject can be found rapidly.

An unusual feature is a comprehensive listing of all known standardization documents (test methods, practices, and specifications), including some international standards. Each document includes a brief description of its contents.
