High internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating has been developed as robust method for the synthesis of porous polymers with designed porosity and void size. However, it has low starting material efficiency requiring the removal of over 74% of starting material to form interconnected porous structures. Foam templating methods attempt to resolve this issue by replacing the internal liquid phase with a gas. We use rapid gas dispersion method to form foam-templated hydrogels that is an energy effective method in comparison to typical HIPE templating. The morphology and properties of foam-templated hydrogels are evaluated to show comparability to the HIPE-templated hydrogels of the same material.
