A sheet is provided, the sheet including at least two polymeric layers including a bottom layer and a top layer, wherein the at least two polymeric layers are sprayed, wherein the at least two polymeric layers are seamlessly fused across the entire area of the sheet, creating a seamless, one piece sheet, and wherein at least one polymeric layer of the sheet contains gas bubbles. An article including the sheet is also provided.

A composite foam article is disclosed herein. The composite foam article comprises a surface layer and a base layer with an interface therebetween. The surface layer comprises a high-resiliency polyurethane foam having an impact resilience of greater than about 50% when tested in accordance with ASTM D3574-17, and presents a seating surface. The base layer comprises a viscoelastic polyurethane foam having an impact resilience of less than about 50% when tested in accordance with ASTM D3574-17, and presents a mounting surface opposite the seating surface. The surface layer and the base layer are present in a thickness ratio of from about 17:3 to about 2:3.

A foamable composition comprising at least one cellulose acetate, a plasticizer, a nucleating agent, and either a chemical blowing agent or a physical blowing agent is disclosed. The composition is formed into foamed articles that are biodegradable.

A process is provided for forming a foam product integral with a cover surface, which restricts emission of the carbon oxide during the step of preparing a carbon-oxide-mixed liquid by mixing carbon oxide into a first material containing polyol as a primary ingredient; under a pressure applied thereto. The process includes a first step wherein a carbon-oxide-mixed liquid material is prepared by mixing carbon oxide C into a first material containing polyol as a primary ingredient, under a pressure applied thereto, without effecting a forced stirring during said first step; a second step wherein said carbon-oxide-mixed liquid material and a second material containing isocyanate as a primary ingredient are impinged on and mixed with each other in a high-pressure foaming agent preparation device, thereby providing a resultant urethane material as a liquid urethane foaming agent; and a third step wherein said liquid urethane foaming agent produced at said second step is introduced toward an inside of a surface cover element under a pressure applied thereto.
