Abstract:Epoxy-based foam composite (EBFC) materials have received considerable attention recently because of their wide range of applications in the aerospace and marine industries. EBFC materials made from hybrid fillers are materials generated to have improved thermal properties. This work focuses on improving the thermal properties and wettability of EBFC materials with hybridized fillers by infusing hollow glass microspheres (HGM) and clay. The HGM content varied between 1 weight percent (wt.%) and 5 wt.% in foam … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
