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 …

Hollow glass microspheres/epoxy foams of different densities were prepared by stir casting
process in order to investigate their mechanical properties. The effect of hollow spheres …

Recent developments in selective laser melting (SLM) have enabled the fabrication of
microlattice structures with periodic unit cells: a potential sandwich core material for energy …

In the present work, polymer-based syntactic foams were studied under cyclic compression
in order to investigate their compressibility, recoverability, energy dissipation and damage …

Quasi-static compressive behavior of different density glass microballoon (GMB) reinforced
high density polyethylene (HDPE) syntactic foams are investigated in the present work …

A representative elementary volume (REV) in epoxy syntactic foams was generated to
incorporate randomly distributed glass microballoons that followed a log-normal size …

The emerging selective laser melting (SLM) technology makes possible the manufacturing
of metallic microlattice structures with better tailorability of properties. This work investigated …

Nowadays, syntactic foam filled with hollow glass microspheres (HGM) has been widely
used in aeronautical and marine structural applications. In order to obtain a lightweight and …

Functional materials are widely used by introducing functional microcapsules in the matrix.
The individual microcapsule can be regarded as core-shell structure in micro-level. In this …
