In this paper, we suggested a novel process to fabricate bulk functionally-graded (FG) syntactic plastic foams and evaluated mechanical properties of the fabricated FG foams. The density distribution in the foams was graded due to floating phenomena of the micro-balloons in the matrix resin before gelling in the fabrication process. The distribution of the density could be predicted by finite difference analysis with Richardson and Zaki’s formula for Stoke’s velocity. The density distribution was found to be controlled by average density, micro-balloons size, and temperature and duration of the fabrication process and so on. The progressive collapse of the FG foam due to grading mechanical properties was confirmed to be effective to improve energy absorption in the compression test.
