Introduction and ScopeCellular solids and porous metals have become some of the most promising lightweight multifunctional materials due to their superior combination of advanced properties mainly derived from their base material and cellular structure
Sixteen original scientific contributions on different topics of cellular metals have been published in this Special Issue
Trejo-Rivera et al [7] present a methodology based on a direct foaming method to fabricate aluminum alloy foams made of A-242 alloy from the recycling of secondary aluminum obtained from beverage cans, using calcium and titanium hydride as a thickening and blowing agent, respectively
Summary
Cellular solids and porous metals have become some of the most promising lightweight multifunctional materials due to their superior combination of advanced properties mainly derived from their base material and cellular structure. They are used in a wide range of commercial, biomedical, industrial, and military applications. In contrast to other cellular materials, cellular metals are non-flammable, recyclable, extremely tough, and chemically stable and are excellent energy absorbers The manuscripts of this Special Issue provide a representative insight into the recent developments in this field, covering topics related to manufacturing, characterization, properties, specific challenges in transportation, and the description of structural features. New bioinspired cellular materials, such as nanocomposite foams, lattice materials, and hybrid foams and structures are discussed (e.g., filled hollow structures, metal-polymer hybrid cellular structures)
