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 …

Syntactic foams, containing up to 23 wt% of untreated waste tyre-derived rubber particles
mixed with hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) and epoxy, were produced via compressed …

Here we report a thermoset shape memory polymer-based syntactic foam inherently
integrated with flame retardancy, good mechanical properties, excellent shape memory …

Syntactic foams with high strength and light weight are essential for aerospace and deep
sea explorations. In this study, high-performance carbon fiber/hollow glass …

Conventional mould casting technique for cell foam production demonstrated trapped air
bubbles in the cell foam which are undesirable stress concentration points in the matrix. This …

In this paper, we discuss the chemorheology of epoxy based syntactic foams containing
glass microballoons of varying density, with an aim of establishing the effect of microballoon …

Silica phenolic ablative composites are used in many high‐temperature applications like
rocket/missile solid motor nozzles, space re‐entry vehicles, and so forth. As ablative …

Polymer syntactic foams are a class of polymer composites prepared by incorporation of
hollow microballoons in a polymer matrix. The advantageous feature of this class of foams is …

Nonporous elastomeric particles are often employed to improve the toughness of brittle
epoxy foams but this also decreases their compressive strength and stiffness. Herein, a …

Abstract Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) is an important class of elastomers with diverse
applications. However, it lacks the compressive strength required in many engineering …
