1. A method of making a foam-like material comprising:
- providing a polyurethane foam base material having a porous surface;
contacting the base material with a first fluid material;
drawing the first fluid material into intimate contact with the base material to form a conformal coat of the first fluid material on the base material, the conformal coat having a thickness of about 50 μ
m to about 100 μ
m;
curing the conformal coat on the base material; and
removing the base material from the cured conformal coat, resulting in a foam-like material comprising the cured first fluid material, the foam-like material having a porous surface conforming to a polyurethane foam.
