This paper describes novel integrated molding for fabrication of functionally-graded (FG) syntactic epoxy foams to control distribution of the mechanical properties for highly impact energy absorption. In order to control mechanical properties, the density distributions in the FG epoxy foams were graded by floating phenomenon of the light-weight micro-balloons in the matrix epoxy resin during the curing process. By the turning procedure of the mold before grading the micro-balloons, the FG epoxy foams having the gradual and continuous distributions of density in wide range could be produced. The static compression tests of the fabricated FG epoxy foams suggested that the foams had high absorption of mechanical energy since the foams collapsed progressively due to the grading of the density distribution.
