Abstract
A foam layer may be reinforced by applying a primer layer prior to application of a metal or other absorbent layer. The primer layer seals the foam layer so that the foam layer does not absorb portions of the metal layer in a manner that may significantly increase the weight of the foam layer. Thus the foam layer may be reinforced by metal layers while maintaining its low weight properties. The reinforced foam layer may be used to create a component for an electronic device.
