A method of forming a syntactic foam, including the steps of providing a predetermined amount of constituent materials, said constituent materials including hollow microspheres or buoyant particles, a solvent and a first binder; mixing the constituent materials; allowing the constituent materials to separate into at least a phase substantially including said hollow microspheres or buoyant particles and a binder phase; transferring the hollow microsphere/buoyant particle phase into a mould; and forming a syntactic foam in said mould. Also an apparatus for forming the syntactic foam and syntactic foam. The buoyant particles are preferably selected from the group comprising expanded perlite particles, expanded vermiculite particles and expanded clay aggregates. Zvi s 4 Fe urF
