The book covers the origins of voids in materials, how they are sometimes introduced in the form of hollow spheres, and the resultant properties of materials containing voids.
There are many books that focus on foams (which intentionally incorporate voids into materials) and that cover voids incidental to or unwanted in the fabrication of non-porous materials. In fact, all materials have voids. This book starts from the premise that voids are pervasive in all material on some level. It goes beyond foams to provide a comprehensive overview of voids, a central reference for scientists and engineers to use for the effect of voids in materials.
- Includes 3D renderings of void geometries
- Explains how and why voids are introduced into materials across the length scales; from nanometer-scale voids up to macro-scale voids
- Provides a continuous picture of how material properties change as the volume fraction of voids increases, and the implications for product design
Chemists, chemical engineers and material scientists who study the properties and effects of voids in the designing of new materials. A valuable guide for engineers in industry.

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.

He has published extensively in the areas of processing, microstructure, and
mechanical behavior of materials, in general, and composite materials and fibers, in
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.
