Abstract: The current scenario focuses on lightweight and better energy-absorbing structural materials for critical engineering applications in aerospace, automobiles, marine, electronic, and implant materials for biomedical industries. The magnesium-based syntactic foams are the preferred choice of material in the same category due to their lightweight, higher plateau strength, better damping characteristics, and excellent energy absorption behavior. Many works were reported based on the polymer and aluminum-based syntactic foams and their developments. However, the rapidly increasing interest in magnesium-based syntactic foams and the adoption of the applications are still at a nascent stage. This proposed review work comprehensively insights the magnesium-based syntactic foam; various hollow filler material usages and summarizes the influence of physical and mechanical behavior on processing routes and future research opportunities for applications.
