Water Impact of Syntactic Foams. [PDF]
Syntactic foams are particulate composite materials that are extensively integrated in naval and aerospace structures as core materials for sandwich panels. While several studies have demonstrated the potential of syntactic foams as energy absorbing materials in impact tests, our understanding of their response to water impact remains elusive.

Aluminum Perlite Syntactic Foams. [PDF]
This paper presents the usage of spark plasma sintering (SPS) as a method to obtain aluminum-expanded perlite syntactic foams with high porosity. In the test samples, fine aluminum powder with flaky shape particles was used as matrix material and natural, inorganic, granular, expanded perlite was used as a space holder to ensure high porosity (35–57 ...

Microsphere-Templated Conductive Syntactic Foams for Recyclable and Additively Manufactured Soft Electronics. [PDF]
This work introduces a microsphere‐templated strategy to fabricate reprocessable PEDOT:PSS syntactic foams with tunable porosity, stable conductivity, and 3D printability. In situ PEDOT:PSS coatings create a conductive network that maintains electrical performance at high void fractions.

Densification mechanics of polymeric syntactic foams [PDF]
In this paper, a fundamental understanding of the densification mechanics of polymeric syntactic foams under compressive loading is established. These syntactic foams are closed cell composite foams with thin-walled microballoons dispersed in a matrix (resin) whose closed cell structure provides excellent mechanical properties, like high strength and ...

Buckling of elastomer-embedded thermoplastic microspheres under uniaxial compression revealed by in-situ X-ray micro-CT [PDF]
Understanding and predicting the morphological changes of filler particles within composites under load is critical to design improved materials. Syntactic foams, consisting of microspheres embedded in a solid matrix, have recently emerged as an ultra ...

Introducing Auxetic Behavior to Syntactic Foams
This paper proposes an innovative multi-material approach for introducing auxetic behaviour to syntactic foams (SFs). By carefully designing the size, shape, and orientation of the SFs, auxetic deformation behaviour was induced. Re-entrant hexagon-shaped

Micromechanical modelling of syntactic foam [PDF]
Abstract A combined numerical-experimental method that enables accurate prediction of not only the elastic moduli and tensile failure strengths of syntactic foams, but also accounts for the experimentally observed scatter in these measurements is presented.
