All materials have voids in them, at some scale. Sometimes the voids are ignored, sometimes they are taken into account, and other times they are the focal point of the research. Voids in Materials: From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials takes due notice of all these occurrences, whether designed or unavoidable defects. We define, categorize, and characterize the voids (or empty spaces in materials) and we analyze the effects they have on material properties.
This second edition is an updated and expanded central reference for voids in materials and covers all types of voids, intrinsic and intentional, and stochastic and nonstochastic, and the processes and conditions that are needed to create them and is a valuable resource to students in the areas of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and chemistry, as well as scientists, researchers, and engineers in industry.
- the effect of voids in materials; from low volume fraction defects and free volume in polymer networks to high void volume fraction foams and aerogels
- how and why voids are introduced into materials across the length scales
- biomaterial design used in vivo for soft, hard, and nerve tissue scaffolds
- metallic and geopolymeric foams
- additive manufacturing technologies used to tailor regularity (R) in the cell structure
- stochastic, nonstochastic, and Voronoi foams
- the latest techniques for characterizing voids
- new chapters, covering the Kirkendall effect to create hollow and porous structures, and nanometer scale voids: nanotubes, zeolites, organic frameworks, and nanoporous noble metals
Students in the areas of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and chemistry, Scientists and engineers in industry, Researchers in university laboratories as well as government labs

Gary M. Gladysz
Gary Gladysz is an adjunct associate professor of materials
science and engineering at the University of Alabama at
Birmingham, United States and founder at X-Link 3D. He
received his PhD from the New Mexico Institute of Mining
and Technology, where he participated in the NATO
Collaborative Program with the German Aerospace Institute
(DLR). Since receiving his PhD, he has led research efforts in
university, government, and industrial settings. He has extensive
research experience designing and characterizing thermoset
composite materials for 3D printing, fibrous composites, ceramic composites,
polymers, composite foams, and thin films. As a technical staff member at Los
Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), he was technical lead for rigid composites and
thermoset materials. In 2005 he was awarded the LANL Distinguished Performance
Group Award for his work leading materials development on the Reliable
Replacement Warhead Feasibility Project. Additionally, while the US Army, he developed
composite materials and test protocols for ballistic head protection. He has
served on funding review boards for LANL, National Science Foundation, ACS, and
the Lindbergh Foundation. He has been guest editor on many issues of leading
materials science journals, including Journal of Materials Science and Materials
Science & Engineering. He has organized many international conferences/symposia
on syntactic foams, composite materials, and innovative materials for additive
manufacturing. He started and chairs the ECI international conference series on
Syntactic and Composites Foams. He currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts,
United States.

particular. Besides being a member of various professional societies, he is Editor of
International Materials Review (published jointly by ASM International, United
States and the Institute of Materials, London) and a member of the Editorial Board
of various journals. During 1989-1990, he served as a Program Director for metals
and ceramics in the Division of Materials Research, National Science Foundation,
Washington, DC, United States. He serves as a consultant to the industry, US
national laboratories, and various US federal government agencies. In 1992 he was
the recipient of the Eshbach Society Distinguished Visiting Scholar Award from
Northwestern University. During the period of June, 1994 through June, 1995 he
held the US Dept. of Energy Faculty Fellowship at Oak Ridge National Lab. In 1996
he was given the Distinguished Researcher Award by the New Mexico Tech. In 1997
he was made a Fellow of ASM international. In 2000 he was awarded the
Distinguished Alumnus award by Banaras Hindu University. He received the
President’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, University of Alabama at Birmingham
in 2006. In 2018 he was awarded the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement
Award.
