Processes for preparing polystyrene-phenolic foam composites and precursor compositions are described. The processes yield composites having advantageous properties particularly useful in insulation and fire resisting applications.

A composite sorbent polymer composite article is disclosed for adsorption. The sorbent polymer composite article includes a sorbent and a flexible porous polymer, the sorbent polymer composite article having an adsorptive configuration in which the sorbent polymer composite article is configured to adsorb one or more components of a feed stream, and a desorptive configuration in which the sorbent polymer composite article is configured to remove one or more components from the sorbent polymer composite article.

A constituent for producing a shock-absorbing composite material comprises 50-80 wt % primary matrix including vinyl acetate; ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer; 10-40 wt % secondary matrix including polyethylene; styrene-butadiene rubber; a thermoplastic elastomer; and 1-20 wt % additive. A shock-absorbing composite material which contains the constituent and a production method thereof are further introduced. The shock-absorbing composite material is applicable to sports equipment (say, shoe pads, clubs and rackets), medical care (say, care-oriented clothes for the elderly, the sick, the injured, and the handicapped), and applications related to impact protection (say, helmets and bumpers.) The shock-absorbing composite material is applied to defense industry.

The present disclosure relates to a resin composition for preparing polyolefin-based foamed articles having flame retardancy and flame retardant foamed articles formed therefrom. The resin composition according to the present disclosure can provide foamed articles having excellent flame retardancy and flame resistance while exhibiting a high fusion ratio and a low shrinkage ratio in the foam molding.

Foamed articles including a foamed thermoplastic elastomeric material, methods of making the articles, and methods for manufacturing articles of footwear, apparel, and athletic equipment incorporating the articles are provided. One exemplary method for making a foamed article comprises placing an article comprising a foamable fibrous element and carbon dioxide in a vessel, the foamable fibrous element comprising a plurality of filaments, fibers, and/or yarns, wherein each member of the plurality comprises a foamable material; maintaining the vessel at a first pressure and first temperature at which the carbon dioxide is a liquid and carbon dioxide is soluble in the foamable material; optionally exposing the infused article to a second temperature and second pressure; and subjecting the article to a third pressure and third temperature at which the infused carbon dioxide phase transitions to a gas, thereby expanding the foamable material into a foamed material and forming the foamed article.
