This is the case of polymeric foams, which may display good structural properties alongside functional characteristics through a complex composition and (micro)structure in which a gas phase is combined with rigid ones, mainly based on nanoparticles, dispersed throughout the polymer matrix. In recent years, there has been an important impulse in the development of nanocomposite foams, extending the concept of nanocomposites to the field of cellular materials. This, alongside developments in new advanced foaming technologies which have allowed the generation of foams with micro, sub-micro, and even nanocellular structures, has extended the applications of more traditional foams in terms of weight reduction, damping, and thermal and/or acoustic insulation to novel possibilities, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. This Special Issue, which consists of a total of 22 articles, including one review article written by research groups of experts in the field, considers recent research on novel polymer-based foams in all their aspects: design, composition, processing and fabrication, microstructure, characterization and analysis, applications and service behavior, recycling and reuse, etc. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a1 610 $a3 610 $a5-benzene-trisamides 610 $aabsorbent PMI foam 610 $aacoustic performances 610 $aactivation energies 610 $aadjacent fac?ade 610 $aaluminum microfibers 610 $aautomobile structural adhesives 610 $abiomaterials 610 $aburning characteristic 610 $acell nucleation 610 $acellulose foam 610 $acellulose nanofiber 610 $acomposites 610 $acompression properties 610 $aconductivity 610 $acore-shell rubber 610 $acrystalline 610 $aDOPO 610 $aelectrical conductivity 610 $aelectromagnetic wave absorption 610 $aEMI 610 $aenergy absorption capability 610 $aenergy conservation 610 $aepoxy 610 $aepoxy composite foam adhesive 610 $aequation of state 610 $aethyl cellulose 610 $aEthylene Propylene Diene Monomer 610 $aexpandable microspheres 610 $aextrusion foaming 610 $afailure mechanism 610 $aflame retardancy 610 $aflame-retardant ABS microcellular foams 610 $afluoelastomer 610 $afoam extrusion 610 $afoam injection molding 610 $afoam morphology 610 $afoaming quality 610 $afoams 610 $afunctional 610 $afunctional foam 610 $agraphene 610 $agraphene oxide 610 $agrey relational analysis 610 $aheat transfer 610 $aheterogeneous nucleation 610 $aimpact property 610 $aimpact wedge-peel test 610 $aintrinsic toughness 610 $aitaconic acid 610 $aleaching test 610 $alignin 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amechanical property 610 $ametallic tube 610 $amicrostructure 610 $aMuCellŪ injection-molding foaming 610 $amulti-objective particle swarm optimization 610 $amultifunctional foams 610 $amultilayers 610 $an/a 610 $ananotubes 610 $apermittivity 610 $aphenolic foams 610 $aphosphorus 610 $aphosphorus flame retardants 610 $apiezocomposite 610 $apiezoelectric 610 $aPluronic 610 $apolyamide 610 $apolyetherimide foams 610 $apolymer waste 610 $apolymers 610 $apolypropylene 610 $apolystyrene foams 610 $apolyurethane foam 610 $apolyurethane foam composites 610 $aPUR 610 $aPZT 610 $aquasi-static compression tests 610 $arigid polyurethane foam 610 $aSANS 610 $ascCO2 610 $ascCO2 foaming 610 $asemi-rigid polyurethane foams 610 $ashock compression 610 $asound absorption coefficient 610 $asuper critical CO2 610 $asupramolecular additives 610 $asurfactants 610 $asyntactic foams 610 $aternary synergistic effect 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $athermal insulation 610 $athermogravimetric analysis 610 $aultrasonication 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aVelasco$b Jose?
