ABSTRACT The study aims to produce poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐based lower density syntactic foams with hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) and to improve their mechanical properties by the addition of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs) while maintaining the thermal properties of the ne...
