20080254255 | GEL FOAM ELASTOMER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAID GEL FOAM ELASTOMER - The present invention provides an innovative gel foam elastomer and method of manufacturing thereof, which blends raw gel with the powdery foaming/bridging agent, and then adds some assistants to begin the foaming procedure. The raw gel molecules and foaming agent molecules generate a bonding effect of virtual key or elastic key, thus forming a solid gel foam elastomer. The elastomer can be fabricated into various 3D structures, and also incorporated into the superficial layer or mat structure. The elastomer of the present invention overcomes the instability problem of existing liquid gel, but also maintains the excellent softness property, thus providing improved applicability for the industry and the users. | 10-16-2008 |
