The tensile performance of closed cell foam expansion joints: a study on the deleterious effects of compression set
Closed cell foam is a polyethylene based foam that is used as a gland material for a specific type of bridge deck expansion joint, usually in applications where the total movement to be accommodated is four inches or less. Adhered into the gap of an expansion joint, this material is responsible for …

MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE SHOCK RESPONSE OF VISCOELASTIC FOAMS
This thesis presents a new constitutive model for closed-cell foams tailored for compressive shock loads and an experimental investigation of two commercial foam products. The new model requires just two characterization experiments to find material parameters, making it far more convenient than …

Manufacture and Characterization of Micro-/Nano-fibrillated Composites and their Applications
… a great candidate for foaming. Low-density, closed cell foams are successfully manufactured from M/NFC showing ultra-low thermal conductivity (~32 mW∙m-1∙K-1). Furthermore, we demonstrated a new approach to generate electrically percolated core-sheath fibrils with low reinforcement …
