I-foam yensimbi yisakhiwo seselula esinentsimbi eqinile (i-aluminium rhoqo) kunye neepores ezizaliswe yigesi equka inxalenye enkulu yomthamo. Iipores zinokutywinwa (i-foam-cell evaliweyo) okanye idityaniswe (i-foam yeseli evulekileyo). Isici esicacileyo se-foams yensimbi yi-porosity ephezulu: ngokuqhelekileyo kuphela i-5-25% yomthamo yintsimbi esisiseko, eyenza ezi zixhobo ze-ultralight. Amandla ezinto eziphathekayo ngenxa yomthetho wesikwere-cube.

Amagwebu esinyithi ahlala agcina iimpawu ezithile zesiseko semathiriyeli. Igwebu elenziwe ngesinyithi esingatshayo lihlala lingatsha kwaye lingaphinda lisetyenziswe njengesiseko sezinto. I-coefficient yayo yokwandiswa kwe-thermal iyafana ngelixa ukuhanjiswa kwe-thermal kunokwenzeka ukuba kuncitshiswe.

Nangona uninzi lwamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza luchaza ulwakhiwo lwe-topological olunokwenzeka, imathiriyeli yokumisela, kunye neendlela zokuvelisa, amagwebu esinyithi akanakuthathwa njengempahla yorhwebo kwaye bambalwa abavelisi borhwebo abakhoyo kwihlabathi jikelele.
