Enhanced Low-Density Silicone Foams Blown by Water–Hydroxyl Blends

Enhanced Low-Density Silicone Foams Blown by Water–Hydroxyl Blends

Water, alcohols, diols, and glycerol are low-cost blowing agents that can be used to create the desired silicone foam structures. Although their combined use can be beneficial, it remains unclear how it affects the physical properties of the resulting materials. We conducted a comparative study of t...
