Abstract
Padding materials capable of use as or incorporation into protective products, and methods of producing such padding materials. The padding material includes a base and an array of raised unit cells that individually protrude from a surface of the base so that the unit cells are spaced apart from each other. The base and the unit cells are formed of a cured polymeric material that contains fine porosity, and a substrate formed of a textile or fabric material is embedded in the base and permeated by the cured polymeric material.
