Cellular solids are a class of highly porous materials that covers a wide range of structures, such as foamed materials, replicated porous or additive manufactured structures, honeycombs, lattice structures, interconnected fibres or hollow spheres and syntactic foams. The pores can be more or less closed or completely open. Depending on their morphology and composition, these materials possess unique properties and are used as components in special and advanced engineering applications. These include filtering liquids and particles in gas streams, porous burners, biomedical devices, lightweight stiff structures, impact absorbers, sound damping modules, thermal management components, etc. The present paper gives an overview on the main fabrication methods and the resulting architectures, in relation to applications of metals and ceramics with >50 vol.-% porosity.
