In most polymer micro/nanocomposites foams, the dispersed phase of micro/nanoparticles or reinforcement are pre-compounded into the polymer matrix. Consequently, the continuous polymer matrix dominates the properties of the composite foams and it is difficult to obtain continuous particles or reinforcement structure unless their concentration is very high. In addition, preparing stronger polymer composite foams with appropriate thermal stability still remains a challenge. It is desirable to develop new materials and methods such that reinforcing materials, even at a very low concentration, may form an inter-connected structure in the final product. Such structures may provide superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, not achievable by the conventional composites foams prepared from compounded polymers. In this study, reinforcing particulates are coated onto the surface of polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP) foam beads that serve as scaffolds for composite structures and liquid reactive resins are then delivered into the space among beads and impregnate the coated particulates through the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM). After cure, honeycomb-like composite structures can be obtained with light-weight, superior mechanical strength, and possibly electrical and thermal conductivity depending on particulate type. The microstructure is analyzed using the SEM, and the compressive, flexural and thermal properties are also measured and compared with those of conventional PS and PP composite foams.
