Mechanical engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed a new framework that speeds up the design of shock-absorbing foam materials, used in everything from sports and military ...

Foam is versatile. Through innovative manufacturing and fabrication techniques, foam can take on a variety of properties. Foam can be water resistant, absorbent, porous, and flame retardant either ...

Even engineers in the know who appreciate foam for its wide range of characteristics and capabilities are often unaware how versatile it can be and how best to use it. And if you don’t know much about ...

How graphene-infused foam has been evaluated as a tunable thermal resistor for passive adjustable cooling. The modeling that was done to investigate the concept. The two test fixtures used to measure ...

Over the last 10 years, there has been a proliferation in the use of conductive fabric-over-foam gaskets for EMI shielding. Advances in plating adhesion, availability of UL 94V-0 flame-rated material, ...
