The blending of mineral fillers with organic polymeric materials typically provides highly improved mechanical and physical properties of the cured polymer. Unfortunately, the use of conventional mineral filling materials (e.g. quartz flour or fumed silica) is usually accompanied by cost- and energy-intensive dispersion technologies. These conventi

Over the last 40 years, miniemulsion polymerization has resulted in the generation of many polymer colloidal structures, currently unattainable by other heterophase processes. One of its salient features is the virtual lack of monomer transport across the aqueous phase. As a result, the nucleation takes place preferentially in monomer droplets, whi

Radical photopolymerized (meth)acrylate systems provide rapid cure on demand which is a particular processing advantage of thermosets. However (meth)acrylates are generally known to shrink when cured by UV light and to provide photocured materials with limited thermo-mechanical properties balance due partly to their relatively low functional group
