The novel aluminum matrix (Al-matrix) syntactic foam with multi-shelled hollow sphere
structure (HSS) was fabricated by introducing double-layered 316L-Al 2 O 3 metal-ceramic …

In this paper, a syntactic foam is fabricated by counter-gravity infiltrating packed bed of
expanded perlite particles with A356 aluminium alloy. The samples are subjected to a T6 …

We report measurement of thermal diffusivity of solid samples by using a continuous heat
source and infrared thermal imaging. In this technique, a continuous heat source is used for …

Hollow particle filled composites, called syntactic foams, are used in weight sensitive
structural applications in this paper. In this paper, homogenization techniques are used to …
