Here, we report a simple and cost-effective technique for mass-scale processing of open-cell
foams of metals and alloys with precise control over foam parameters (pore size, pore …

A vacuum casting method was used for the syntactic foam production. A mixed cell structure
(containing both open and closed cells) and spherical cell morphology were obtained. The …

Here, we report a novel approach towards bulk scale manufacturing of metallic foams with
uniform distribution of open-cells for designing high pressure hydrogen storage tanks. The …

Metal foams can be fabricated through metallizing nonconductive polymer templates for
better control of pore size, porosity, and interpore connectivity. However, the process suffers …
