A special process will make it possible to improve the mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties of foams in the future. This will be of particular benefit to lightweight construction. Mother nature is a smart builder. The cell structure of bones and honeycombs, for example, is particularly resilient and gets by with extremely little material. The process by which these lightweight structures form is just as suitable for foaming metals, plastics and ceramics. (source: fraunhofer.de)
