The addition—reaction product of bisphenol A [80-05-07] and glycidyl methacrylate [106-91-2] is a compromise between epoxy and methacrylate resins (245). This BSI—GMA resin polymerizes through a free-radical induced covalent bonding of methacrylate rather than the epoxide reaction of epoxy resins (246). Mineral fillers coated with a silane coupling agent, which bond the powdered inorganic fillers chemically to the resin matrix, are incorporated into BSI—GMA monomer diluted with other methacrylate monomers to make it less viscous (245). A second monomer commonly used to make composites is urethane dimethacrylate [69766-88-7]. 

Powder coating is a solventless coating system that is not dependent upon a sacrificial medium such as a solvent, but is based on the performance constituents of solid TP or TS plastics. It can be a homogeneous blend of the plastic with fillers and additives in the form of a dry, fine-particle-size compound similar to flour. The three basic methods are the fluidized bed, electrostatic spray, and electrostatic fluidized bed processes (9). 

Carbon fibers treated with HMDSO/O2 plasma showed the highest DPPH consumption per unit surface (2 x 10 mol/cm ) among plasma treatments employed, and also showed a significant reduction of the time needed to reach the maximal temperature (1070 s compared to 1170 s for untreated fibers). These are the similar trends found with plasma-treated X-ray-opaque powders. All of these trends strongly indicate that the plasma-treated fillers acting as the additional initiator of MMA polymerization, i.e., PMMA polymers are covalently bonded to the LCVD-coated fillers. 

All paint, gypsum, and natural stone samples were broken perpendicularly to the surface so as to produce rough surfaces. To avoid artifacts, most analyses were performed either on ultra-thin carbon-coated samples for the purpose of improving the conductivity or, if possible, on non-coated samples. Ultra-thin carbon-coated powder preparations were made from silicone-coated fillers. 

Fillers play an important role in powder coating of polyamide to form articles with a metal-like look (e.g., handles, mountings for radiators and pipes). For a material to be powder coated, it must withstand the stoving temperatures (170°C or more). It must also be electrically conductive, be chargeable and its reactive groups must be able to link with the coating system. Fillers such as metal and metal coated ceramic spheres and carbon fibers are added to polyamide for its strength and paintability. 

Powdered mineral fillers tend to increase compressive strength, hardness and modulus of the compound. However, when used in large amounts, there is a considerable reduction in bending strength. Fibrous fillers are used to increase tensile and impact strength. Surface properties of moldings can be improved by use of a suitable powdered mineral in the gelcoat only. Powdered quartz or zircon in the gel coat can improve hardness and abrasion resistance. Properties, which may be selectively altered by use of fillers, include ...
