Abstract
A process of forming an embossed surface covering is disclosed. The process comprises forming a cross-linkable foam comprising at least one polymer and having a first phase region and a second phase region; heat the foam to a temperature at least equal to the flow temperature of the first phase region; compressing the heated foam and cooling the foam while compressed; cross-linking a portion of the compressed foam; and reheating the compressed foam to permit the noncross-linked portion of the foam to return or 'pop back' to substantially its precompressed shape and thus form an embossed surface covering.
