Abstract
Described herein are syntactic foams comprising: (i) hollow filler particles; and (ii) an epoxy matrix; wherein, the epoxy matrix is characterized by an ordered microstructure comprising a plurality of vacancies that resides at interstices between the filler particles. The ordered microstructure of the syntactic foams provides the materials with lower densities and higher strengths compared with syntactic foams of the art. Methods of preparing the syntactic foams are additionally described.
