A simple method for dipcoating porous reticular carbon foam with aluminum oxide thin‐film coatings is presented. Weight gain versus temperature and number of dipcoatings is presented along with scanning electron micrographs of uniform, adherent alumina thin films. Composite foam structures of up to 57% alumina have been prepared.
