Complete removal of interstitial water molecules from various foam films of amphiphilic compounds results in self‐standing bilayer membranes. The dried foam films (DFFs) in the micrometer to submicrometer range (see picture) are stable even under ultrahigh‐vacuum conditions and at temperatures higher than 100 °C.
