Composite materials have improved the fields of aerospace, marine and defence by
supporting the manufacturing of several structures owing to their superior properties. The …

Epoxy syntactic foam (ESF) materials are widely used in marine detection systems, deep
sea diving equipment, offshore oil exploration and other deep sea development and …

The present study is focused on the synthesis and characterization of vinyl ester/glass
microballoon syntactic foams. Tensile and compressive properties of vinyl ester matrix …

Hollow particle filled composites, called syntactic foams, are widely used in applications
requiring high damage tolerance and low density. The understanding of the mechanics of …

Syntactic foams are composite materials comprising hollow particles dispersed in a matrix
material. Available studies on high strain rate compressive response of polymer matrix …

Driven by the environmental concern, novel sustainable geopolymer based syntactic foams
(GSFs) were developed for the first time. The different GSFs were prepared by using two …

The objective of this work is to improve the structural characteristics of hollow glass
microsphere (HGM) filled epoxy syntactic foam composites with little voids content and …

A temperature resistance buoyancy material was fabricated through a tert-butyl alcohol
gelcasting process with borosilicate glass (BG) and hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) as …

Lightweight glass microballoon epoxy syntactic foams have a high strength-to-weight ratio,
making them attractive for transport applications. A better understanding of the compressive …

High performance polymer–fiber composites are high strength, low weight materials that
have many applications, many of which would benefit from a decrease in weight, without a …
