A working fluid that includes a fluorinated olefin compound represented by the following general formula (I):

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A foamable composition comprising: a blowing agent; a foamable polymer or a precursor composition thereof; and a nucleating agent, wherein said nucleating agent comprises a compound represented by the following general formula (I): wherein (i) Rf 1 and Rf 2 are independently linear or branched perfluoroalkyl groups having with 1-4 carbon atoms and optionally comprise at least one catenated heteroatom, or (ii) Rf 1 and Rf 2 are bonded together to form a ring structure having 4-6 carbon atoms and optionally comprise one or more catenated heteroatoms; with the proviso that if Rf 1 and Rf 2 are bonded together to form a ring structure comprising a nitrogen heteroatom, said nitrogen heteroatom is tertiary and is bonded to a perfluoroalkyl group having 1-3 carbon atoms. 2. A foamable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the nucleating agent and the blowing agent are in a molar ratio of less than 1:2. 3. A foamable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the blowing agent comprises an aliphatic hydrocarbon having from about 5 to about 7 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon having from about 5 to about 7 carbon atoms, a hydrocarbon ester, water, or combinations thereof.
