Title: Mechanical reticulation of polymeric-based closed cell foams

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1650881
; ;

Polymeric based closed cell foams, such as shape memory polymer foams, contain bubbles. Making these bubbles continuous is called reticulation. Disclosed are embodiments of a device and method to controllably reticulate polymer-based closed cell foams by puncturing the membranes of these polymer-based closed cell foams.
