This web site collects information about the rapidly developing subject of cellular metallic materials such as metal foams, metal sponges etc. The site is independent and non-commercial, thus we do not sell foams and do not provide business solutions. If you want your links, literature references or other information added, please send us your suggestions. If you add your name to our mailing list we shall send you newsletters which contain information about new developments, conferences etc.

E-mail us for "information added" or "mailing list" or "other comments": admin@metalfoam.net

New: Pages containing "conference articles" have been updated; many articles have been included along with their pdfs.
