Geometrical and Mechanical Characterisation of Hollow Thermoplastic Microspheres for Syntactic Foam Applications
Matthew E. Curd, Neil F. Morrison, Michael J. A. Smith +3
Recently, hollow thermoplastic microspheres, such as Expancel made by Nouryon, have emerged as an innovative filler material for use in polymer-matrix composites. The resulting all…
Compression properties of polymeric syntactic foam composites under cyclic loading
Z. Yousaf, M. J. A. Smith, P. Potluri +1
Syntactic foams are composite materials frequently used in applications requiring the properties of low density and high damage tolerance. In the present work, polymer-based syntac…
Modelling hollow thermoplastic syntactic foams under high-strain compressive loading
Michael J. A. Smith, Zeshan Yousaf, Prasad Potluri +1
The mechanical response of syntactic foams comprising hollow thermoplastic microspheres (HTMs) embedded in a polyurethane matrix were experimentally examined under uniaxial compres…
