densified
Compressed into less
Densified describes something that has been made more dense or compact.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—densified wood has been compressed to increase hardness and durability, densified fuel pellets pack more energy into less volume.
Urban planners speak of densified neighborhoods where development has increased population per square mile.
The densified foam provided better insulation than standard materials.
