	Met Office: FOAM
		FOAM is an ocean and sea-ice model and assimilation system that produces real-time daily analyses and forecasts of temperature, salinity, currents and sea ice in the deep ocean, for up to five days ahead.
		The original FOAM system was introduced in 1997, and has subsequently evolved to better meet ocean forecasting requirements.
		Supported by an active research and development programme, FOAM is at the forefront of the development of operational forecasting of the deep ocean.

	Sandia decontamination foam
		Its developers think the decontaminating foam soon may be the best first response available in the event of a chem-bio attack.
		The foam could be sprayed from handheld canisters or from trucks, or it could be incorporated into the fire sprinkler systems of high-profile government or military buildings.
		The Sandia foam, in comparison, could be produced for about 15 cents a pound, he estimates.

		Lipids are considered to be detrimental to beer foam, while hop derived bitter components and proteins originating from barley are important for the formation of foam.
		Foam was produced from 15 litres of lager beer in a continuous foam tower by a stream of nitrogen gas.
		Furthermore, it may be possible to optimise the foaming characteristics of beer by selecting raw materials with desirable levels of foam precursors or by tailoring the malting and brewing processes.

	Polyurethane Foam Association
		Carbon Dioxide Blown Foam -Flexible polyurethane foam in which all the gas for expanding the foam is carbon dioxide generated by the chemical reaction between water and the isocyanate material.
		Foam density is often expressed as pounds per cubic foot or kilograms per cubic meter.
		Generally, a foam will form a density gradient, with the highest density being at the outer, or skin surface, and the lowest density being at the core of the foam sample.

	Guide to memory foam and picking a memory foam mattress (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While memory foam was developed for NASA in the 1970's, it really only hit the consumer market in topper pads, and later their memory foam mattress, in the early 1990s.
		Over the years memory foam was shown to be unique in the way it responded to temperature and also in ability to spread pressure over a greater surface area (and thereby reduce pressure points significantly).
		Unlike standard foams that compress, but want to spring back to their original shape immediately, memory foam cells (as an open cell foam, which means the cells of foam have holes in them) compress fully and spread their air pressure to adjoining cells.

	EFoamStore.com - The nation's leading source of foam
		Flexible polyurethane foam is produced from a reaction of two key chemicals, a polyol and an isocyanate with water.
		In addition to the polyol, isocyanate and water used to produce foam, a variety of other chemicals and additives are included to change the final properties of the foam.
		Technically called Visco elastic foam, this foam is an open-celled, body-heat and body-weight sensitive material originally developed for NASA to alleviate the G-Force stresses and pressure placed on astronauts during space flight.

	SPACE.com -- Test Results Back Columbia Foam Theory
		During the test, the 1 1/2-pound piece of foam cracked the reinforced carbon panel and knocked it out of alignment, creating a gap of less than one-tenth of an inch between the panel and an adjoining seal.
		To recreate the conditions at Columbia's launch, the foam was fired at 525 mph through the 35-foot barrel of a nitrogen-pressurized gun normally used to shoot debris at airplane parts.
		Friday's test on the shuttle panel was the first in which the foam was shot at the panels and seals that form the leading edge of shuttle wings.

		Sealed rigid foam board floor applications are done from the open side in a manner similar to the sealed-walls approach.

		These two types of foam are known as flexible foams and rigid foams, respectively, and they account for most of the polyurethane foam market.
		There are two other types of polyurethane foam with more specialized uses: microcellular foam, which may be used to make car steering wheels or line the insides of athletic helmets, and elastomeric foam, which is typically used to make the outer sole of many types of footwear, including athletic shoes.
		These four classes of polyurethane foam, all with extremely different physical properties, are created by varying a basic addition polymerization reaction involving a diol or polyol, a diisocyanate, and water.

	Memory Foam Mattress Review
		The advancement I am referring to is what many people have come to know as memory foam, a technological advancement that NASA developed in the 1970s that allows foam to mould to your body and then return to its original shape once your body moves to a new position.
		However, I had read that the use of their five pound density foam was too temperature sensitive, and the overall feeling of the mattress was too hot.
		The top layer uses a softer four pound density memory foam that was not nearly as temperature sensitive, and had a more instantly plush feel to it.

		The foam insulates the exterior fuel tank to prevent ice from forming.
		Foam shedding has been a problem for NASA, beginning with the loss of the shuttle Columbia in 2003, when foam hit a wing, causing the shuttle to disintegrate on reentry, killing all seven astronauts.
		In addition to the five pieces of foam that separated from the shuttle, Hale said NASA has identified two other issues requiring further study: a shim that acts as a separator between tiles broke off, and a camera lens got water on it.

	Technology Review: Aluminum Foam (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When a speeding object strikes a piece of plastic foam such as polystyrene, the work required to crush the walls of the millions of air cells in the foam slows the object down.
		Metals such as aluminum can also form foams -- and because of their greater rigidity, they could, in theory, dissipate as much energy as a polymer foam in a much thinner layer.
		Metcomb's engineers keep the cells in their foam uniform by adjusting the nanoscale oxide layer on the cell surface and by adding small-scale particles to molten aluminum, which controls its viscosity and hence the size of the bubbles that form inside it.
