Materials engineering does not have to be more than cooking. Epoxy foams have been successfully produced by whipping air into a resin formulation. Air was frothed into liquid epoxy resin containing silica particles producing stable liquid froths. The curing of the froths resulted in foamed epoxy composites, whose pore morphology was templated by air bubbles. The epoxy foams possessed a hierarchical pore structure and high stiffness. More importantly, thanks to the liquid nature of the epoxy froths, they can be moulded and cured into any desired shape. As shown on the cover art, the epoxy froths were piped out and cured into a meringue cookie shape
