Laboratory results are presented and calculation studies of the structure and properties of one of the flexible foams, i.e. PU foam are made. A problem is formulated to design plastic foams with a prescribed set of physical-mechanical characteristics is formulated and a possible solution is obtained by varying foam density and gas structural elements elongation.
