“…Polymeric foams are very important structural materials with unique characteristics including high porosity, uniform and controllable pore structures, adjustable mechanical properties, etc. Therefore, polymeric foams have been widely used in insulation, [1][2][3][4][5][6] buffering, [7] packaging, and so on. [8][9][10] In spite of this fact, the high-value applications of polymeric foams are usually limited by available material functions if no modification has been applied.…”

Functionalization of polymer foams by surface coating is of great interest for advanced flow‐interactive materials working with well‐controlled 3D open channels. However, realizing heavy functional coating via a fast and recyclable way remains a big challenge. Here, inspired by the battery electrodes, we propose a scalable mechanic‐assisted heavy coating strategy based on the design of sticky jammed fluid (SJF) to conquer the above challenge. Similar to the electrode slurry, the SJF is dominated by a high concentration of active material (≥20 wt% of active carbon, for instance) uniformly dispersed in a protein binder solution. Due to the sticky and solid‐rich nature of the SJF, one can realize a high coating efficiency of 60 wt% gain per coating. The critical factors controlling the coating processing and quality are further identified and discussed. Furthermore, the functionalized foam is demonstrated as a high‐performance shape‐customizable toxic gas remover, which can absorb formaldehyde very efficiently at different circumstances, including static adsorption, flow‐based filtration, and source interception. Finally, the foam skeleton and the active materials are easily recycled by a facile solvent treatment. This study may inspire new scalable way for fast, heavy, and customizable functionalization of polymeric foams.
