Abstract
Disclosed are microporous, open-celled polymeric foams formed by polymerizing a high internal phase water-in-oil emulsion comprising a continuous oil phase and discontinuous water phase where the foam has a Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) value of at least about 18% Such foams are commonly known in the art as "HIPEs". The foams have a variety of flame retardant applications, including use in insulation.
