A Model of Moist Polymer Foam and a Scheme for the Calculation of Its Thermal Conductivity

This paper proposes a method for determining an effective value of the thermal conductivity for moist, highly porous rigid polymer foams. The model of moist foam based on an ordered structure with interpenetrating components was developed in accordance with the moisture distribution in the pore spac...
