Abstract: Foams and emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles can lead to new materials with unique structures and properties. In this Highlight article, we describe the underlying mechanisms of this new enabling technology, highlighting some of the processing routes to obtain capsules and porous structures for a variety of applications.
