Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites with inorganic filler (BFRP-F) such as Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide), Al(OH)₃ (aluminum hydroxide), Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide) and AlOOH (boehmite) were prepared by hand lay-up and hot pressing. The combustive properties of BFRP-F were improved comparing with basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composite (BFRP) without inorganic filler. At a 30 wt% resin content, the limited oxygen index (LOI) of BFRP is 28.9, which is higher than that of epoxy (21.4), and the LOI of BFRP-F is higher than that of BFRP. The BFRP-F showed the lower peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat release (THR) and total smoke release rate (TSR) than those of BFRP. We confirmed that the flame retardant properties of the composite were improved by the addition of inorganic filler through the dehydration reaction and oxide film formation.

The lithium polymer battery with polymer electrolyte is expected as a safe and long cycle life battery. This paper reports primarily the recent development results of a solid polymer electrolyte, which is a key point of the secondary battery system. The new type of polymer electrolyte was prepared under a dry Ar atmosphere by dissolving $LiCIO_4$ in a matrix of EC, PC and then dispersing polyacrylonitrile(PAN). Also adding some inorganic filler $Al_2O_3$. The dispersed solution heated at $120^{\circ}C$. The polymer electrolyte were characterized by EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), TGA(Thermo Gravimetric analysis), DMA(Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The lithium ion yield is 0.29 when PAN-$Al_2O_3$ which was applied DC 5mV. The ionic conductivity of PAN, PAN-$Al_2O_3$ polymer electrolytes were showed $1.0{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$, $8.4{\times}10^{-4}S/cm$ at room temperature. When inorganic filler was added in the polymer electrolyte, ionic conductivity and lithium yield more larger than without inorganic filler.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of lignocellulosic fillers made of wood powder and inorganic fillers, such as GCC and PCC, on physical properties of papers. Mechanical treatment and chemical treatment were carried out subsequently for generating lignocellulosic fillers, and then inorganic filler and wood powder were mixed together, and then mechanically treated for making lignocellulosic fillers covered with inorganic fillers. Consequently the particle size of lignocellulosic fillers was higher than that of inorganic fillers, which led to lumen loading and simultaneously surface coverage of fine inorganic fillers. Lignocellulosic fillers contributed to the increase of both bulk and opacity of handsheets dramatically, but some of properties including tensile strength, brightness and roughness decreased compared to inorganic fillers.

It is generally agreed that strong linkages exist between rubber chains and reinforcing filler particles. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of rubber-filler attachments on the various mechanical properties of the rubber. In particular, the modulus and strength will be altered by these attachments. For this study, the curing properties are examined by means of ODR (Oscillating Disk Rheometer), the physical properties by means of Instrong. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. In the ODR test, the carbon black filled stock has shorter scorch time than gum stock and, the silica and clay filled stock has longer scorch time than gum stock. In the modulus, ten sile and swelling properties, the vulcanizates filled with carbon black had higher those values than inorganic filler loaded NR vulcanizates, but the rebound rate showed that the silica filled NR vulcanizates was lower than other inorganic filler contained NR vulcanizates and the ISAF filled NR vulcanizates was lower than other carbon block contained NR vulcanizates.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of inorganic composition and filler particle morphology on the mechanical properties of different self-adhesive resin cements (SARCs). Materials and Methods: Three SARCs including RelyX Unicem-2 (RUN), Maxcem Elite (MAX), and Calibra Universal (CAL) were tested. Rectangular bar-shaped specimens were prepared for flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) and determined by a 3-point bending test. The Knoop microhardness (KHN) and top/bottom microhardness ratio (%KHN) were conducted on the top and bottom faces of disc-shaped samples. Sorption (Wsp) and solubility (Wsl) were evaluated after 24 hours of water immersion. Filler morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). FS, FM, %KHN, Wsp, Wsl, and EDS results were submitted to 1-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post-hoc test, and KHN also to paired t-test (α = 0.05). Results: SARC-CAL presented the highest FS value, and SARC-RUN presented the highest FM. SARC-MAX and RUN showed the lowest Wsp and Wsl values. KHN values decreased from top to bottom and the SARCs did not differ statistically. Also, all resin cements presented carbon, aluminum, and silica in their composition. SARC-MAX and RUN showed irregular and splintered particles while CAL presented small and regular size particles. Conclusions: A higher mechanical strength can be achieved by a reduced spread in grit size and the filler morphology can influence the KHN, as well as photoinitiators in the composition. Wsp and Wsl can be correlated with ions diffusion of inorganic particles.

With the contact angle of phase epoxy resin on the inorganic filler(glass plate) surface treated with air plasma, we have studied about the interface between epoxy resin and glass plate as simple model of a glass fiber reinforced composite materials. The contact angle on the inorganic filler surface varied with surface treatment conditions. The contact angle significantly depends on plasma treating time and environment temperature of the oven.

In order to investigate the effect of inorganic dielectric fine particle mixed in Low Density Polyethylene on the deterioration by treeing, a comparative study for initiation and development of the tree has been carried out between the pure thin film specimen and the same geometrical specimen mixed with a constant weight percent by a defiend particle size of $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ and SiO$_{2}$, having larger dielectric constants than that of the base material. According to the results, it has been observed that as increasing dielectric constant, the initiation of tree is expedited, however, the development of the tree reached at the surface of filler particles shows the suppressive trends. From these facts, a reasonable interpretation may be possible by considering the effect of intensified electrical field around the tip in the presence of filler particles, that the initiation and the development of tree are a mechanical break down process caused by Maxwell stress due to the concentration of electrical field at the tip. This suppressive effect is specifically suggestive for the reason that a discharge route must be constructed around the particle surface because of the intensified field strength near filler, which, in turn, reduces the geometrical curvature of the tip so that the local intensity of electrical field can be relaxed. Further more an experimental evidence for this assumption was able to observe in this investigation.

Acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes were used for the automotive, the electrical and the electronic industries and the display module junction. In this study, the manufacture of high-strength structural tape used 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) and acrylic acid (AAC), and UV irradiation for photo-polymerization, and the semi-structural properties of acrylic PSA tape with the AAC content and inorganic filler $SiO_2$ content were investigated. The initial adhesion strength was lowered by the rigidity of molecule chains due to the use of AAC, and the adhesion strength increased with increasing wetting time. The wetability, contact angle, and SEM images of PSA tapes with various contents of AAC were determined. Without filler, the peel strength and dynamic shear strength of PSA tape showed inverse correlation but the peel strength and dynamic shear strength increased with increasing filler content. From these correlations the PSA tapes could be optimized for the applications requiring high performance.

Stone papers made of inorganic filler and plastic polymer do not use pulp, which is the main raw material of existing papers, so they contribute to the preservation of nature and can be used as more eco-friendly materials when they have biodegradability. Since most stone papers are manufactured by hot extrusion, the amount of ceramic fillers and related physical properties are limited to control manufacturing workability. In this study, the stone paper composition was prepared in a liquid form using solvents, so that there was little limitation on the amount of ceramic filler added and it was also easy to add additives to control biodegradability. They were fabricated from eco-friendly raw materials using waste oyster shells as an inorganic filler and (recyclable) PVC materials as an organic binder. After making a solution using common solvents for PVC, inorganic filler and cellulose to impart biodegradability were mixed and processed into sheets to prepare solvent-based stone papers, and their paper properties were evaluated.
