The present invention relates to a method of forming a foam material, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing an aqueous dispersion comprising polymer particles and a functional filler dispersed in the aqueous phase, and b) lyophilising the aqueous dispersion, to thereby form the foam material. The invention also relates to a foam material produced by the method, and uses of the foam material, for example in anti-static casings, electrode materials, support elements, insulators, catalysis, as membranes for water filtration, implantable materials for biomedical engineering and electromagnetic interference shielding. |
