Multiple viscoelastic memory foams have been invented.  Is there a
particular type, brand, or application you are interested in?

While the general description of the polyols and isocyanates and
silicone additives used in the production of visco elastic foams are
known, the specific details are proprietary. Are you interested in the
general reactions involved or in the specific details...??

Hi, I was mostly interested in whether there were any potentially
carcinogenic ingredients in memory foams, such as benzene, etc, that
might out-gas or come into contact with skin.
