Polymeric porous media (PPM) are widely used as advanced materials, such as sound dampening foams, lithium‐ion batteries, stretchable sensors, and biofilters. The functionality, reliability, and durability of these materials have a strong dependence on the microstructural patterns of PPM. One underl...
