Head restraints

Such conditions are particularly prevalent in the car industry where moulded foam is used for chair backs, chair seats, head restraints and knee strips. The furniture industry also widely uses moulded products. 

Ferraro et al. (1946, 1949), of Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, conducted controlled studies involving clinical doses of ECT on rhesus monkeys. The researchers used regular ECT machines, smaller-sized electrodes to fit the monkey heads, restraint to keep the heads from banging, and the minimally necessary dose of electricity to cause a convulsion, thereby approximating the intensity of current and voltage used to treat human beings (Ferraro and Roizen, 1949). The total energy dose was less than that routinely used in modern ECT.

Applications. Major applications of semi-rigid foams are in the area of automotive parts, especially in the interior of vehicles, for use as shock-absorbing pads, e.g., instrument panels, console-box lids, door trims, head restraints, arm rests, and sun visors. 

In the Ford vehicle application, an insert molded horn EPP is used in the front seat s head-restraint assembly. A low-cost and low-weight redesign with EPP allowed better complianoe with US safety standards (FMVSS-202A) Development of the insert allowed the automaker to improve its head-impacn ratings to "good" on several 2007 and 2008 vehicles. The EPP insert is also molded into a shape that allows "snap-on" installation onto the metal head-restraint support, without fasteners.

Natural fibers have been proved a viable reinforcement agent in many automotive parts. For example, flax, sisal, and hemp are applied in door cladding, seatback linings, and floor panels. Coconut fibers are used in seat bottoms, back cushions, and head restraints, while cotton fibers are used in vehicle parts that require effective sound proofing. In addition, wood fibers and acaba fibers are used in seatback cushions and floor body panels (Table 13.1).
