Abstract

In this study we assessed the specific properties including tensile, compression and flexure strengths and moduli for syntactic foam as a function of various microstructures. Preliminary results revealed that the specific compressive strength and the specific tensile, compressive and flexural moduli depended on the type of microsphere, which varied in density. Mechanical properties are critically evaluated in light of their microstructures.
