“…For MMSF characteristics of the hollow reinforcements such as porosity percentage and wall thickness also affect the mechanical properites 45 . Among the most reported reinforcements for AMC are carbides (SiC, B 4 C, WC, TiC) [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] , oxides (Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , MgO, CeO 2 ) [53][54][55][56][57][58] , nitrides (Si 3 N 4 , BN) [59][60][61] and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) [62][63][64][65][66][67] . For the case of syntactic foams there have been mainly reported metallic or ceramics hollow spheres, being Fe, SiC, SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 the most used [40][41][42][43][44][45][68][69][70][71][72] .…”
