Etymology
Microcellular comes from the parts micro- meaning 'small' and cell meaning a tiny 'room' or living 'cell', the same 'cell' you know from biology or from 'cell phone'. So microcellular means 'made of very small cells', which is why we use it for foams and materials that trap heat or make plastics lighter and stronger.
