Popis: A high load-bearing shock-mitigating phenolic foam was developed to meet specific compression-deflection and gas permeability requirements. It was required that the foam display an almost constant compressive stress within the limits of 50–68 psi at strains ranging from 10% to 60%. Furthermore, the foam had to possess a highly open-celled structure so that its resistance to gas flow would be minimal. These properties were obtained from a chemical formulation utilizing a combination of two phenolic resins, a phosphoric-sulfuric acid catalyst system, a surfactant combination that included both a hydrophilic and a lipophilic surfactant, and a fluorocarbon blowing agent.
