Chemical formula: CaCO3
Density: 2.71 g/cm3
Hardness (Mohs): 3
Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive.
Solid glass beads— which range from 20 to 40 micrometers in diameter—can be used as a partial replacement for glass fibers to reduce cost, shrinkage and warpage because their spherical shape makes them more uniform in all directions.1,2 Hollow microspheres reduce part density, improve flow and dimensional stability, and provide sound and thermal insulation.3 These additives can be used as an alternative to mineral fillers.
