Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP have developed a foil that changes into polyurethane foam (PU foam) when heated—entirely without health risks. The foil allows ...

"One foam does not do everything. Some people think that and learn the hard way," he says. "That's where the experience comes into play - knowing which polymer will serve the customer the best and ...

Soft materials include liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids, granular materials, as well as most soft biological materials. Research now demonstrates that solution-processable polymer ...
