Cenospheres are one of the most value added fractions of coal fly ash. They have a hollow
spherical structure and can be applied in many industrial applications, due to their superior …

Coal fly ash is generated during the combustion of coal for energy production. Its utilisation
as an industrial by-product has received a great deal of attention over the past two decades …

In this contribution, authors present a review on the state-of-the-art in the utilization of
industrial and agricultural waste materials for the development of metal–matrix composites …

Many different types of advanced metal matrix composites are now available, some of which
possess functional properties. Recent work on particle-reinforced, self-lubricating and self …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of lightweight syntactic
foams (SFs) because of their tailorable properties, quality characteristics and suitable …

Porous metals have been under development for nearly a century, but commercial adoption
remains limited. This development has followed two primary routes: liquid state or solid state …

In this study, nanostructured biodegradable pure Zn, Zn-4 wt.% Mn and Zn-24 wt% Mn alloys
were produced by 20 h mechanical alloying and consequent cold pressing and sintering …

Aluminum alloy A356 filled with silicon carbide hollow spheres (SiCHS) is investigated for
quasi-static (10− 3s− 1) and high strain rate (up to 1520s− 1) compressive properties. Such …

In this study, AA7075/SiC/TiB2 closed-cell aluminium hybrid composite foams (AHCFs) with
different densities were fabricated by top-loaded bottom-pouring stir casting technique. This …

The present contribution is concerned with a combined experimental and numerical design
of graded cellular materials for multifunctional aerospace application performed in the …
