Polymerization of the continuous phase and removal of the dispersed one, used as a soft template, lead to solid microcellular foams emulsions are powerful tools to generate hierarchical porosity when combined with lyotropic meso-phases, and various synthetic routes have been reviewed by Zhang and Cooper [104]. If silica precursors such as tetraethyl-orthosilane (TEOS) are used, the materials synthesized are called Si-(HIPE). They can possess very high porosity and very low bulk density. The void size is usually situated in the microcellular range (1-100 pm). These materials will be used as supports for a wide range of applications.
