Abstract Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs)/epoxy syntactic foam reinforced by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was prepared in this study. The effect of MWCNTs on the density, mechanical properties and water absorption of HGMs/epoxy syntactic foam was investigated. Because of the low density and low content of MWCNTs, the density of HGMs/epoxy syntactic foam does not change much with adding MWCNTs. In addition, the compression strength of HGMs/epoxy is enhanced by 17–25% when adding 0.3 wt% MWCNTs. The fracture surfaces of specimens were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and results indicated that the bridging effect of MWCNTs is the reinforcement mechanism. Analyzing the water absorption testing results, it is concluded that MWCNTs may decrease the water absorption content due to the hydrophobicity. Bigger inorganic ions in salt water could prevent the water diffusion, which results in a decrease of water absorption. In addition, the water absorption rate decreases with the extension of testing time.

Aluminium compound materials saw to be the best choice with its exceptional utmost of sketching out the material to give required properties. Aluminium alloy composites are expanding broad affirmation for aeronautics application in perspective on their high strength combined with low density. In the present work, an endeavour is made to prepare and focus the tensile and compressive behaviour of Hollow Glass Microspheres (HGM) reinforced Aluminium alloy LM13 based syntactic foam. Stir casting method was used to manufacture the aluminium alloy LM13 based syntactic foam with hollow glass microspheres (HGM) as space holders in 10 v%, 15 v% and 20 v% of concentration. Based on ASTM benchmarks, the composite samples were prepared. Results indicate that there is notable improvement in compressive strength while the tensile strength is on the lower side when observed in reference to the unreinforced LM13 alloy.
