- Cellulose-based foam insulates better than StyrofoamResearchers at Washington State University in the US developed an environmentally, cellulose-based foam that insulates better than oil-based Styrofoam. Polystyrene foam or Styrofoam, made…
- Purifying water with foam made from coffee groundsCoffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Though some people cannot stand it, others need it to function properly. Some…
- Foam RailingThe Foam Railing material of Dinex contains a minimum of 40% polyester or polymide surface and 60% out of foam core. The fabric is welded to foam rails.
- Orca Tech 290 FoamedThe Orca Tech 290 Foamed Aluminium serie is a Polyurethane / Foam Coated Fabric. The topside has a Polymide coating folded with polyether polyurethane. The intermediate side is a Polymer foam. The backside has a aluminated insulating sheet.
- Advantic Syntactic FoamAdvantic Syntactic Foams are lightweight, engineered syntactic foams made with glass, polymer, or ceramic microspheres embedded in a resin matrix such as cyanate ester, silicone, or epoxy.
- Carbon Cell FoamCarbon Cell provides an alternative to polymer-based foams, with a patent pending, plastic-free foam made with carbon-negative biochar. This foam can be expanded using heat, either in moulds, or extruded profiles, enabling rapid production. It can be machined and cut using CNC and other common tools.
- Mycelium FoamThe foam is made from 100% mycelium, cultivated from aerial mycelium – the filamentous hyphae of fungi. It grows on an organic substrate primarily composed of straw-derived biofibres. The resulting material is a lightweight foam with natural structural stability and cushioning performance.
- 3D printed foam elementsIn a project called FoamWorks, researchers at ETH Zürich explored how foam 3D printing can be used to produce unique shapes for functional stay-in-place…
- Ceramic foam filtersThese ceramic foam filters are designed for mould-casting metal. Thanks to the mechanism of creation of the “filter cake” on the inlet filter side and thanks to depth filtration inside the ceramic matrix, these ceramic foam filters are an effective instrument to reach metallurgical purity of molten metal during the process of casting. The filters also calm mould filling.
- Modular Foam-Free Mattress for Outdoor UseDesign studio LAYER has worked with Chinese sleep start-up MAZZU to develop a camping mattress that avoids conventional polyurethane foam. The MAZZU Camping Mattress…
- Ultra-Thin Mineral Foam Panels Revolutionize Noise ControlSwiss research institute Empa, in collaboration with materials manufacturer de Cavis, has introduced a breakthrough in acoustic materials: ultra-thin sound-absorbing panels made from mineral…
- Paper production waste becomes bio-foamIn paper production, quite a large amount of the finer fibers and water form a by-product that has been wasted in millions of tons…
- 3D printed mineral foam construction elementsResearchers at ETH Zürich used 3D printing to develop cement-free mineral foam lightweight and insulated wall construction. The goal of the project is to…
- Recemat foamRecemat is a metallised organic foam with an extremely open cellular structure. Cavities make up more than 94% of the total volume. This means a low weight-to-volume ratio, yet a far higher rigidity and strength. For applications requiring higher strength and rigidity the base foam is chromed and heat-treated. It is available in sheets of 900 mm x 500 mm.
- Metpore Metal FoamMetpore Metal Foam with open cellular structures. Available in; nickel-steel, titanium, copper-silver, copper, brass and stainless steel
- Mappy foamStopfire CR is a sound-insulating material in Fire-retardant polyurethan-foam having in the middle a high density barrier of 4 kg/m2. Application: sound insulation material in partition wall, machineries generators etc available in adhesive version.
- Fungal Mycelium Foams & FilmsFungal mycelium is a root-like network of microscopic threads that forms the main body of a fungus. By shaping fungal mycelium under controlled conditions, lightweight foams and flexible films are produced, composed of 100% inactivated fungal mycelium, without synthetic binders or petroleum additives.
- Aluminium foam with saltThis aluminium foam is made by adding salt or other materials in the casting process. The salt is removed once the aluminium has hardened, turning the material porous. Depending on the size of the salt grains, the porosity can be varied. All openings are connected, which makes the material suitable to use in filter systems. The aluminium is lightweight, shock- and temperature-resistant.
- Foam Concrete Improves Emergency Safety on Airport RunwaysA Chinese research team has developed an ultra-lightweight foam concrete that could transform runway safety systems. Nicknamed “marshmallow concrete” for its soft, crushable structure,…
- Corallite: Lighting and Furniture Made from Recycled Foam ConcreteThe Mumbai-based design studio Sanjay Puri Architects has developed Corallite, a series of lighting and furniture objects informed by the natural geometry and texture…
- FILIE® FoamFILIE® is a material range made from recycled automotive windshields. The material utilises recovered polyvinyl butyral (PVB), the interlayer film found in laminated safety glass, transforming a challenging waste stream into flexible sheet materials and closed-cell foams. Through a process of separating, cleaning and reprocessing the PVB, the recycled material is converted into granules that can be coated onto textile backings and embossed with a variety of surface textures.
- foam Andrea ValentiniThe exterior surface is hand and machine made from a unique molding process called sculptural textiling. Each textile is made with a foam backing. This fabric is lightweight, waterproof, and hand washable.
- Polyurethane foam Oleo Sponge successfully removes oil sheenDeveloped last year, the so-called Oleo Sponge, which is made of polyurethane foam, has proven itself in real-life circumstances, cleaning up even hard-to-clean oil…
- Tempur foamTempur is a high-tech foam originally developed by NASA for use in astronaut seating to absorb the high G-forces of space vehicle launch. Tempur adapts to body shape in response to body heat and pressure and thus spreads the pressure uniformly and comfortably.
