High-pressure compliant syntactic foam for hydraulic noise control
… of a flow-through expansion chamber with a syntactic foam liner; the device is known as a suppressor. Syntactic foam is a term of art which refers to a material fabricated from a host matrix and specifically selected inclusions to alter the engineering properties of the composite body. The …

A self healing smart syntactic foam based grid stiffened sandwich structure
Syntactic foams are composite materials synthesized by dispersing microballoons in a polymeric, ceramic or metallic matrix. In the past three decades, syntactic foams have gained immense importance as a lightweight and damage-tolerant material when used in foam-cored sandwich structures. Because of …

A Biomimic Self-healing Shape Memory Polymer Based Syntactic Foam for Smart Structural Composites
… Polystyrene Shape Memory Polymer (PSMP) based syntactic foam for service life extension in structural polymeric composites. The objective was to self-heal structural-length scale damage in an autonomous, efficient, timely and repeatable manner at the molecular-length scale. Self-healing is …

Modeling and validation of a syntactic foam lining for noise control devices for fluid power systems
… elevated pressures, is through a liner made of syntactic foam, which in this case is a urethane host matrix with embedded hollow, polymer microspheres. The material properties at elevated pressure are unknown by the liner manufacturer, but are known to be pressure- and temperature-dependent. …

Ultrasonic wave propagation in thick, layered composites containing degraded interfaces
… resin fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminate, syntactic foam, and resin putty materials in the model. The ultrasonic phase velocity in all three materials is shown to be essentially constant in the range of 1.0 to 5.0 megahertz (MHz). The attenuation in all three materials is constant or …

Characterization of syntactic foams and their sandwich composites: modeling and experimental approaches
Hollow particle filled polymers known as syntactic foams are lightweight and highly damage tolerant. Syntactic foams are used as core materials in sandwich composites. The use of such materials in aeronautical and space structures make it necessary to understand their characteristics for various …
