Abstract Hydrogel foams are widely used in many applications such as biomaterials, cosmetics, foods, or agriculture. However, controlling precisely foam morphology (bubble size or shape, connectivity, wall and strut thicknesses, homogeneity) is required to optimize their properties. Therefore, a method is proposed here for generating, controlling, and characterizing the morphology of hydrogel foams from liquid foam templates: Using the example of Alginate‐CaHPO 4 ‐based hydrogel foams, a highly controllable foaming process is provided by bubbling nitrogen through nozzles into the solution, which produces hydrogel foams with millimeter‐sized bubbles. A rheological characterization protocol of the foam's constituent material is first implemented and highlights the impact of the initial liquid foam properties and of the competition between the solidification kinetics and the foam aging mechanisms on the resulting morphology. X‐ray tomographic characterization performed on solidifying and solidified samples then demonstrates that by controlling the temporal evolution of the foam via its formulation, it is possible to tune the final morphology of the alginate foams. This method can be adapted to other hydrogel or polymer formulations, foam characteristics and length scales, as soon as solidification processes happen on timescales shorter than foam destabilization mechanisms.
