DOI: 10.1016/j.micromeso.2016.10.007
Abstract: Abstract Polystyrene (PS) foam derived nitrogen-enriched porous carbon/graphene (AC/Gr) composites were prepared using ammonia, ethylene diamine and melamine as nitrogen sources, respectively. The as-prepared AC/Gr composites and graphene-free PS-derived porous carbon (PSAC) exhibit moderate specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym11060985
Abstract: CO2 has been regarded as one of the most promising blowing agents for polystyrene (PS) foam due to its non-flammability, low price, nontoxicity, and eco-friendliness. However, the low solubility and fast diffusivity of CO2 in… read more here.
