We investigate the drainage of a foaming solution during inorganic polycondensation by macroscopic measurements and local observations. We reveal an original mineralisation mechanism starting from Plateau border interfaces. This slow process is not able to counteract the destabilizing effects of foam drainage and we therefore propose a new strategy in which mineralisation is assisted by a biopolymer.
