Open‐pore urea/formaldehyde (OPUF) structure has been prepared electrolytically at the anode from an aqueous solution of a nonetherified urea/formaldehyde resin. A decrease in pH at the anode due to an electrochemical reaction results in the formation of the open‐pore structure. The electrolytically generated OPUF powder has the same characteristics as the chemically prepared OPUF obtained by acidification of urea/formaldehyde resin solution.
