Fiberglass: Thin fibers of glass that provide strength and reinforcement to the composite.
Glass Bubbles (Glass Microspheres): Tiny, hollow glass spheres that reduce the overall density of the composite.
Resin: A polymer matrix that binds the fiberglass and glass bubbles together, providing cohesion and protection to the composite.
The resulting composite could potentially have a lower density compared to traditional fiberglass composites, while still maintaining some level of strength and structural integrity. It might find applications where weight reduction is crucial without sacrificing essential mechanical properties.
It’s important to note that specific formulations and properties of such composite materials would depend on the intended application and the specific characteristics of the fiberglass, glass bubbles, and resin used.
