This work investigates the coupled effect on mechanical and electrical properties of carbon
black dispersed in polyamide 6 and 6.6 matrices. The CB content is varied between 15 …

In this paper, a novel multi-walled tube-reinforced aluminum foam (MWTRF) was proposed
in an attempt to improve quasi-static compression performances and energy absorption. The …

Due to the exceptional mechanical properties, epoxy-based composites have been widely
applied as critical aerospace components, semiconductor packaging materials, and …

Abstract The cryogenic (− 196° C), room (25° C) and high (250° C) temperature compressive
crushing performances of recently developed metal foam matrix composites was …

Syntactic foams are lightweight, high specific strength materials used in the aerospace and
naval industries. Their utility is limited by their brittleness. The epoxy polymer matrix in an …

In this paper, two types of the foam-filled tubes (FFTs), including O-FFTs and T6-FFTs, were
prepared by directly inserting Al foams (AFs) into 6061-O Al alloy empty tubes (O-ETs) and …

Syntactic foams comprising hollow glass microspheres (GMS) in an epoxy matrix are critical
materials for lightweight structures, being extensively used in marine and aerospace as …

Polymer matrix solid buoyancy materials (PSBMs) have the advantages of low density, high
strength, low cost, and low water absorption, and they are widely used in marine …
