Toughening epoxy syntactic foams with milled carbon fibres: Mechanical properties and toughening mechanisms
Syntactic foams comprising hollow glass microspheres (GMS) in an epoxy matrix are critical materials for lightweight structures, being extensively used in marine and aerospace as cores for composite sandwich panels. They are buoyant and crush resistant, but their use is limited by their brittleness....
