In recent years, the demand for sealant in the construction field has been increasing, among which the silicone sealant is widely used and has a large amount. The silicone sealant is prepared with polysiloxane as the main raw material, and its molecular chain is composed of siloxane chain, which is cross-linked to form a network of siloxane chain skeleton structure during the curing process. The bond energy of Si-0 (444 kJ/mol) is very high, which is not only much higher than the main chain bond energy of other ordinary polymers, but also higher than the UV light energy (399 kJ/mol). Therefore, Si-0 has excellent high and low temperature resistance, weather resistance and UV light aging resistance.

In addition, silicone sealant is also a good adhesive material. Its adhesive performance to glass is very excellent, and it is often used for sealing and bonding of double-layer insulating glass. Reinforcing filler accounts for a relatively high proportion in the formula of silicone sealant, and the commonly used ones include Nanomaterial calcium carbonate, fumed silica, carbon ink, etc. When the nanomaterial calcium carbonate is used as reinforcing filler, the dosage can reach 60% of the total mass of the system. In addition, some silicone sealants will also add incremental fillers to reduce costs, adjust and improve thixotropy and fluidity. The commonly used incremental fillers are heavy calcium carbonate. The common feature of the above fillers is that the density is high, such as the density of Nanomaterial calcium carbonate is 2.7g/cm3, which also leads to the high density of the final product sealant, and the density of most silicone sealant is about 1.5g/cm3. Hollow glass microsphere, also known as hollow glass microsphere, is a lightweight inorganic powder material developed in recent years.

Hollow glass beads are borosilicate glass formed at high temperature (>1400 ℃) and have stable chemical properties. The hollow glass bead is a hollow, thin-walled closed spherical structure with thin gas inside. This special structure makes it have the characteristics of low density, low thermal conductivity and high compressive strength. The true density of hollow glass bead is 0.12-0.70g/cm3, and the thermal conductivity is 0.038-0.085 W/(m · K). It can be used as a semi-reinforcing filler in silicone sealant, effectively reducing the density and thermal conductivity of the sealant, and also improving the thermal deformation temperature of the sealant. In addition, hollow glass beads generally do not react with substrates or other substances, and are suitable for a variety of systems.

When heated, the volume increases 50 to 170X depending on the grade used.

Expandable hollow glass microspheres benefits include weight reduction, improved moldability, thermal and sound absorption.

Hollow glass microspheres are a precision foaming agent that are characterized by easy control of specific gravity, retention of closed cells, small sphere diameter and uniform distribution.

Hollow glass microspheres provide the flexibility to be foamed in resin and within high permeability materials such as fibers and paints.

Hollow glass microspheres developed in recent years, are a new type of materials which shows a greater use and an outstanding performance. The product, made mainly from borosilicate, is a hollow microspheres whose grain size is 10-250 micron and wall-thickness 1-2 micron.

Hollow glass microspheres have many advantages substantial weight saving, low heat conductivity, high mechanical strength and fine chemical stability. With treated specially, hollow glass microspheres have the properties of lipophilicity and hydrophobicity and are very easily dispersed in organic materials such as resin. It is widely used in the composite materials such as FRP(fiber reinforced plastics),man-made marble and man-made agate.

Hollow glass microspheres have the distinct results of decreasing weight, sound insulation and heat preservation, thus the products have the excellent performances of anti-crazing and re-processing. Hollow glass microspheres are widely to be used in a range of fields such as aviation, space, new bullet train, luxurious yacht, heat insulating dope, bowling balls and play a unique role.

Glass microsphere has the advantages of light weight, low thermal conductivity, non-toxic, incombustible, good chemical stability and high dispersion. These advantages can be reflected in the finished products after molding. The final product is light in weight, easy to install, and especially suitable for manufacturing products requiring buoyancy.

Hollow glass beads can be used in many material fields to improve or improve the water resistance, compressive strength, shrinkage and impact strength of materials. Low density, can make lighter parts; The porosity and specific surface area are low, and the bead absorption resin is less, so the viscosity is not high even if the amount of filling is high; It is chemically stable and inert; Good anti-cracking performance, and the final product is easy to be post-processed, such as drilling, cutting and polishing, which is another advantage that hollow glass beads are easy to be damaged.

Because, like the shock absorber, the compressive strength and impact strength of the product are also improved.

Because the hollow glass bead is destroyed prior to the resin matrix, the impact degree of the product is reduced.

It is an advantage. On the one hand, it can reduce

Application of modified glass beads in electromagnetic shielding and microwave absorption

Glass beads are widely used in building materials, plastics, rubber, coatings, chemistry, metallurgy, navigation, aerospace and other fields, and have irreplaceable important applications. The modified hollow microspheres have electrical and magnetic properties, which can be used in the fields of microwave absorption or electromagnetic shielding to prepare functional materials and broaden its application range. Due to the high energy consumption of artificial glass beads, the cost of glass beads obtained from fly ash can be greatly reduced, so the bead filler will have a good development prospect. At present, the utilization of fly ash hollow microsphere in China is still at the initial stage, and the utilization rate and utilization level need to be developed. As a new multi-functional material, its application prospect will be better and better.

Screening hollow glass microspheres can be an extremely difficult and tedious process. It requires a combination of technology and technique in order to make the required separations.

The main issue when screening hollow glass microspheres is coating of the screen mesh. The material is so light that it almost floats on the screen and has a hard time passing through the hole opening.

Furthermore, the ingoing feed must closely be metered to avoid overloading the screen.

Glass microsphere plays a very important role in production and life. Glass microsphere not only has the advantages of light weight, low thermal conductivity, high strength and good chemical stability, but also has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties on the surface, which is easy to disperse in organic material system. What are the main characteristics of glass beads?

Main characteristics of glass bead

1. It can scatter light in the visible spectrum. The glass material is actually colorless and transparent, but because the glass bead has a scattering effect on the light in the full visible spectrum, it looks white. However, when it is added to colored materials, it also scatters the light of material color, so it can be widely used in any material with requirements for appearance color without affecting the original material color.

2. Low density. The density of glass bead is about one tenth of that of traditional filler particles. After filling, the base weight of the product can be greatly reduced. The larger volume makes it replace a large number of other raw materials, reducing the product cost.

3. It is lipophilic. Hollow glass beads are easy to wet and disperse, and can be filled in most thermosetting thermoplastic resins, such as polyester, epoxy resin, polyurethane, etc.

4. High dispersion and good liquidity. Because the glass bead is a tiny ball, it has better fluidity in liquid resin than the filler in sheet, needle or irregular shape, so it has excellent filling performance. More importantly, this kind of small bead is isotropic, so it will not produce the disadvantage of inconsistent shrinkage in different parts due to its orientation, which ensures the dimensional stability of the product and will not warp.

5. Low water absorption. The inside of glass bead is thin gas, so it has the characteristics of sound insulation and heat insulation, and is an excellent filler for various heat insulation and sound insulation products. The thermal insulation characteristics of glass beads can also be used to protect products from thermal shock caused by alternate changes between hot and cold conditions. Its high specific resistance and extremely low water absorption make it widely used for processing and producing cable insulation materials.

6. Low oil absorption. The particle size of the sphere determines that it has the smallest specific surface area and low oil absorption. The amount of resin can be greatly reduced in the use process, and the viscosity will not increase much even under the premise of high addition, which greatly improves the production and operation conditions, and can increase the production efficiency by 10%~20%.

Global warming can be defined as a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere. A lot of research work has been carried out to reduce that heat inside the residence such as the used of low density products which can reduce the self-weight, foundation size and construction costs.

Foamed concrete it possesses high flow ability, low self-weight, minimal consumption of aggregate, controlled low strength and excellent thermal insulation properties. This study investigate the characteristics of lightweight foamed concrete where Portland cement (OPC) was replaced by hollow glass microsphere at 0%, 3%, 6%, 9% by weight. The density of wet concrete is 1000 kg/m3 were tested with a ratio of 0.55 for all water binder mixture. Lightweight foamed concrete hollow glass microsphere (HGMs) produced were cured by air curing and water curing in tank for 7, 14 and 28 days. A total of 52 concrete cubes of size 100mm × 100mm × 100mm and 215mm × 102.5mm × 65mm were produced.

Furthermore, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) were carried out to study the chemical composition and physical properties of crystalline materials in hollow glass microspheres. The experiments involved in this study are compression strength, water absorption test, density and thermal insulation test.

The results show that the compressive strength of foamed concrete has reached the highest in 3% of hollow glass microsphere with less water absorption and less of thermal insulation. As a conclusion, the quantity of hollow glass microsphere plays an important role in determining the strength and water absorption and also thermal insulation in foamed concrete and 3% hollow glass microspheres as a replacement for Portland cement (OPC) showed an optimum value in this study as it presents a significant effect than other percentage.

Hollow glass microspheres are a free-flowing, oleophilic product that is low in density (0.19g/cm3 ) and small in particle size (75µm, avg). This product is especially suited for use in adhesive applications.

When hollow glass microsphere is added to a “workhorse” epoxy resin system (bisphenol-A, cured with a modified aliphatic amine) at volume levels of 9 and 18%, resin density is reduced substantially, while lap-shear adhesive strength is retained, and in some cases, improved.

Additionally when used to augment the same resin system containing conventional solid fillers (calcium carbonate with fumed silica), hollow glass microspheres impart similar benefits. The data collected in the study illustrate the benefits gained from the use of hollow glass microspheres in the epoxy system.

Benefits include:

• Formulation density reduction, leading to cost savings.

• Maintenance of adhesive performance, potential improvement in bond strength at ambient temperatures and after exposure to elevated temperature stress.

• Viscosity optimization of the formulation, aiding in sag prevention and development of adequate “glue-line”.
