soluvaahdotetut
Soluvaahdotetut is a Finnish term that appears in some discussions of materials processing to describe foamed or porous materials produced through solvent-based means. The expression is not widely standardized in Finnish scientific nomenclature, and its usage may vary by author or context. In many cases, writers would instead describe the underlying mechanism with terms such as solvent-induced foaming or solvent-based porous formation.
Etymology and scope: The compound combines solva- (relating to solvent) with vaahdotettu (foamed). As a result,
Process overview: Solvent-based foaming typically involves dissolving a polymer in a volatile solvent, then inducing foaming
Applications: Porous polymers and composites produced by solvent foaming find use as tissue engineering scaffolds, filtration

Note: The term soluvaahdotetut is not universally defined and may be encountered as a descriptive label rather
