Polymeric foams

Polymeric foams are materials made by trapping gas within a polymer (a type of plastic or similar substance), creating a lightweight and insulating structure. They consist of many small cells or bubbles that give them their soft, porous, and cushion-like properties. Used in insulation, cushioning, and packaging, these foams can be rigid or flexible depending on their application. The gas trapped inside reduces heat transfer and adds impact absorption, making polymeric foams versatile and energy-efficient materials across various industries.
