Polymer science

a polymer foam with very small cells, typically around ten micrometres, made by saturating the polymer with gas and then causing many bubbles to nucleate at once.

In polymer science, microcellular foam refers to a polymer foam with very small cells, typically around ten micrometres, made by saturating the polymer with gas and then causing many bubbles to nucleate at once. This meaning comes from Kumar (1990) in Polymer Engineering & Science.[1]
