In this paper we present what we believe are the most pressing issues in understanding the mechanical behavior of nanoporous foams. We have postulated that a gold foam presents the best candidate for a systematic study of nanoporous foams since it can be synthesized with a wide range of ligaments sizes and densities. We have also conducted preliminary tests that demonstrate (a) Au foams have a fracture behavior dictated by the ligament size, and (b) nanoporous Au is a high yield strength material. Thus, we have demonstrated the potential in developing nanoporous foams as a new class of high yield strength/low density materials.
