Abstract
A multilayered supported elastomeric foam is disclosed, the multilayered supported elastomeric foam comprising at least two foamed regions, each said foamed regions comprising a plurality of gas filled cells defined by elastomer; and at least one reinforcement region, said at least one reinforcement region comprising a porous layer having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer; and wherein said at least two foamed regions are separated by one or more of said at least one reinforcement region.

-56. (canceled)
A supported elastomeric foam (1400, 1500), comprising:
- an elastomeric matrix (1418, 1518) comprising an elastomer, and comprising:
- a foamed region (1406, 1506) comprising a plurality of gas filled cells defined by the elastomer, the foamed region having first and second sides positioned opposite one another;
- and
- a reinforcement region (1404a, 1504) comprising a porous layer having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer on the first side of the foamed region;
- and
- a surface region (1430, 1530) oriented on the second side of the foamed region, wherein the surface region (1430, 1530) is a non-porous surface layer.
