Goodfellow announces the availability of metal, carbon and ceramic reticulated foams – low-density, permeable structures of cells and continuous ligaments that offer important benefits to researchers and design engineers. Thanks in part to the continuous ligaments, reticulated foams have an unusually high surface area to volume ratio. Available from Goodfellow in aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, vitreous carbon, alumina and silicon carbide, these low-density foams also have a high strength to weight ratio and possess the same chemical resistance as the parent material. They can be conductive or insulating, depending on the material chosen.

Reticulated foams can be used in an extremely wide range of applications, including :
* Porous electrodes (electrically conductive materials)
* High-temperature insulation
* Filters
* Three-dimensional network of reinforcing fibers in composites
* Storage batteries
* Scaffolds for biological growth
* Acoustic control
* Cores in structural sandwich panels
* Heat exchangers

More information about reticulated foams can be found on the online Goodfellow Catalog at www.goodfellow.com.
