Comparison of tensile and compressive characteristics of vinyl ester/glass microballoon syntactic foams
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of vinyl ester/glass microballoon syntactic foams are characterized. And the results show that the compressive strength and moduli of several syntactic foam compositions are comparable to those of the neat matrix resin.

Effect of volume fraction and wall thickness on the elastic properties of hollow particle filled composites
Maurizio Porfiri,Nikhil Gupta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic properties of an infinitely dilute dispersion of microballoons in a matrix material are first computed by solving a dilatation and a shear problem.

Solutions for effective shear properties in three phase sphere and cylinder models
Richard M. Christensen,K.H. Lo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective shear modulus of two types of composite material models are compared. And the results are found to differ from those of the well-known Kerner and Hermans formulae for the same models.
