A method for foaming or foam-coating components is used for foaming hollow cavities of double-walled or multiple-walled components or foam-coating component parts with decorative surfaces so as to improve haptic properties of component parts. A material is introduced or applied in an unfoamed state to be foamed through the use of microwave energy. In order to achieve high dielectric losses and to ...

Rubbery polymers in hydrocarbon solutions are emulsified in aqueous liquids and converted to latices by partitioning the emulsion through a membrane of selective permeability to the hydrocarbon solvent relative to both water and the polymer, thereby removing the hydrocarbon solvent from the emulsion. The foaming that is often associated with removing hydrocarbon solvent from aqueous emulsions by c...
