Used in plastics are solid or hollow spheres or microspheres, which may be coated with coupling agents to improve bonding between the glass and the polymer.
In polymer compounds, solid glass beads improve mold flow and surface appearance.
Most well known as the brand Kevlar™, is produced by spinning a liquid chemical blend into a solid fiber.
