  • Reinforced polymer foams, articles and coatings prepared therefrom and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 9518163
    Abstract: A cellular foamed article is provided, including a polymeric foam material and a micro- or nano-sized reinforcement material embedded in the foam material. Also, methods of making a reinforced cellular foamed articles are provided, including preparing a dispersion comprising a reinforcement material and a polymer precursor; processing the reinforcement material so that it has a volume average length ranging from about average cross sectional diameter of from about 1 to about 500 nm and a volume average length of from about 10 nm to about 10 ?m; reacting the polymer precursor to form a foamable polymer; and foaming the foamable polymer.
