	abstract = {<p>New aldehyde-free and isocyanate-free biofoams have been obtained by reacting albumin chicken egg white and dimethyl carbonate (DMC). The optimized formulations yielded lightweight foams whose densities were evaluated as 0.016-0.16 g/cm(3). Mechanical resistance was 0.023-0.34 MPa and residual pH nearly neutral. The new foams presented up to 57\% of closed cells as measured by helium pycnometry and good thermal insulation. These new natural foams are environmentally friendly materials and show very promising properties.</p>},
