Need for lightweight flame-resistant, nonsmoking materials in interiors of spacecraft has spawned family of foams that could find applications in aircraft and other vehicles. Polyimide-based foams are being developed as resilient fillers for seat cushions, as rigid, low-density wall panels, as high-strength sheets for floors, and as thermal and acoustical insulation.
