Researchers’ 3D-printing formula may transform future of foam

University of Texas at Dallas
Peer-Reviewed Publication

From seat cushions to mattresses to insulation, foam is everywhere — even if we don’t always see it. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have fused chemistry with technology to create a 3D-printed foam that is more durable and more recyclable than the polymer foam found in many everyday products.
