A method for manufacturing a foamed polymer is disclosed, the method comprising, providing a precursor dispersion comprising a precursor of a gellable polymer, particles of a water-swellable polymer and water, and gelling the gellable polymer to form a solid polymer. The method may be used to manufacture a garment, especially a glove. Also disclosed are gloves comprising a liner and at least one foamed polymer layer coated on the liner the foamed polymer layer comprising micropores formed by water swelling and contraction of particles of a water swellable polymer and mesopores formed by gas incorporated in the foamed polymer. |
