1. Filling of large volumes and spaces with the low usage of material
2. Creating of large surfaces with low usage of material through foam
3. Sound absorption, damping of shock waves
4. Packaging material for fragile substances
5. Transportation of gases
6. Extinguishants
7. Thermal insulation
8. Sealing agents
9. Covering and isolating of liquids and other substances (permeable to solid bodies - non- permeable to steams or radiation)
10. Dust reducing agents
11. Foaming of liquids to change their properties, e.g. density, viscosity etc.
12. Intensification of chemical processes
13. Separation of suspensions
14. Water or liquid cleaning using flotation
15. Degassing of large reservoirs and other closed spaces
16. Lightweight design, application of foamed metals, e.g. foamed aluminium
17. Modelling of objects, rapid-prototyping

Application of evolution patterns for the foamed substances:

Solid foamed substances -> Flexible foamed substances -> Liquid foamed substances -> Gaseous foams, e.g. soap bubbles -> Dynamic foams, e.g. boiling water
