The symposium, Porous and Cellular Materials for Structural Applications, was held on April 13--15 at the 1998 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. Recent developments were presented and discussed in the area of porous and cellular materials, including polymer-, ceramic-, and metal-based materials. The general focus of the symposium was on porous materials that are being developed, at least in part, for structural applications. Theoretical aspects of the mechanical behavior of porous and cellular materials were discussed, as well as the specific mechanical properties of a wide variety of solid foam materials. Design principles for the use of solid foams in structures were presented, and a number of promising applications for porous and cellular materials were shown. Papers on the manufacture of solid foams and the production of parts containing solid foams were presented. A significant portion of the symposium was devoted to new porous materials that cannot be classified as foams, such as hollow spheres, hot isostatically compacted and expanded (HICE) materials and GASAR materials. Thirty nine papers were processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
