A Simple Method to Convert Cellular Polymers into Auxetic Metamaterials
The objective of this study was to present a simple and environmentally friendly process combining low pressure (vacuum) and mechanical compression to convert low-density polyethylene (LDPE) foams into low-density foams (76–125 kg/m3) with negative ...

Foam-Assisted Capillary Trapping in Saline Aquifers—An Initial–Residual Saturation Analysis
Capillary trapping of gas in porous media is important for many processes such as oil recovery and gas geo-sequestration. Foam can mitigate gravity override and viscous fingering of gas by reducing its relative permeability through gas trapping. However,
