| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to the composition for and methods of processing composite structural foam. In one embodiment, a method of producing a Interpenetrating Phase Composite (IPC) foam is disclosed. In this method, uncured epoxy-based syntactic foam is prepared and infiltrated into an open-cell scaffold. In some embodiments, the uncured epoxy-based syntactic foam contains premixed micron-size hollow glass microballoons. In other embodiments, the scaffold is coated with a silane. The uncured epoxy-based syntactic foam is subsequently cured to produce the Interpenetrating Phase Composite (IPC) foam. |
