Review of Polymer Matrix Composites Filled with Inorganic Whiskers

5 Review of Polymer Matrix Composites Filled with Inorganic Whiskers [Pg.199]

In recent years, there has been a breakthrough in the manufacturing cost of potassium titanate whiskers, aluminum borate whiskers, and so forth. Meanwhile, inexpensive and high-quality inorganic whiskers such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and magnesium are successfully synthesized, which makes inorganic whiskers a new type of filling modification material of polymer materials. This field has become a research hotspot all over the world and reveals broad application and market prospects. [Pg.199]

The application of inorganic whiskers in polymer composite materials basically has the following aspects. [Pg.199]
