A wellbore servicing foam comprising a reducible material and a wellbore servicing material, wherein the wellbore servicing material is uniformly dispersed throughout the foam, and wherein the foam has (i) equal to or greater than 5 % reticulated structure and (ii) a specific surface area of from about 0.1 m 2 /g to about 1000 m 2 /g as determined by pycnometry. A highly expanded, wellbore servicing foam comprising a reducible material and a wellbore servicing material, wherein the wellbore servicing material is uniformly dispersed throughout the foam, wherein the foam has (i) a percentage expansion of from about 5 % to about 6200 % when compared to the same amount of the same reducible material in the absence of expansion, (ii) a specific surface area of from about 0.1 m 2 /g to about 1000 m 2 /g as determined by pycnometry, and (iii) equal to or greater than 5% reticulated structure. |
