Abstract
Abstract The properties of articles fabricated from foamed metals (such as foamed aluminum) are enhanced by coating surfaces thereof with plastic materials, e.g. acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers. For example, the plastic coating improves the physical properties, and enables the article to be joined to another foamed metal article, or to a metal sheet, wire, glass, rock or other material. The organic coat gives improved strength to such joint.
