Abstract
With the rising energy demands and climate change concerns, research to develop lightweight materials for vehicular structures is essential. Reduction in weight of the structures reduces the energy demand to carry them. Syntactic foams are porous particle reinforced composite materials. The porosity was achieved by using hollow micro balloons as reinforcements. In the present study, cenospheres obtained from thermal power plants were used as reinforcements to an epoxy-based matrix material. The syntactic composites were manufactured using mechanical mixing. The manufactured samples were studied under a scanning electron microscope for defects. The density reduction with the increase in the porosity and its effect on the compression strength of foams was discussed.
