= Microcellular plastic
{wiki=Microcellular_plastic}
Microcellular plastic refers to a type of polymer-based material that is characterized by the presence of microscopic gas-filled cells or bubbles within its structure. This technology is used to create lightweight materials with improved mechanical properties, insulation, and reduced density compared to traditional plastics. The formation of these microcells usually involves the incorporation of gases or supercritical fluids into the polymer matrix during processing.
