Researchers’ 3D-Printing Formula May Transform Future of Foam

Caption

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. The research, which appears in the March 1 print edition of RSC Applied Polymers, focused on creating a sturdy but lightweight foam that could be 3D-printed.
