Abstract

Polyurethane foam is modified by a post-treatment process comprising the steps of contacting the polyurethane foam with a swelling agent for the polyurethane foam and interpenetrating the swollen foam with a chemical additive, then shrinking the interpenetrated foam by removing the swelling agent under conditions where the chemical additive remains trapped in the polymeric structure of the foam.
