1. Scientific Foundations of Hollow Glass Microspheres 1.one Composition and Microstructure one.1.1 Chemical Composition: Borosilicate Dominance Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) are mostly made up of borosilicate glass, a material renowned for its very low thermal expansion coefficient and chemical inertness. The chemical makeup typically incorporates silica (SiO₂, 50-90%), alumina (A... https://www.jointcorners.com/post/483698_metallic-boride-powders-are-very-unique-but-functional-new-ceramic-materials-the.html
