Abstract:
Producing modified open-cell foams comprises contacting a starting open-cell foam with an aqueous formulation of an aminal or hemiaminal or a copolymer of a hydroxy-, beta -dicarbonyl- or epoxy-functional monomer. The starting foam has a density of 5-500 kg/m 3> and an average pore diameter of 1 mu m to 1 mm. Independent claims are also included for: (1) modified open-cell foams produced as above; (2) cleaning materials, filters, air humidifiers, cosmetic articles, water distributors, packaging products, soundproofing products and buildings insulation made from or comprising the modified open-cell foams; (3) composite materials comprising the modified open-cell foams on curved or flat, rigid or flexible substrates.
