Abstract
Inorganic materials usually have high thermal stability good optical properties and high modulus but they are very brittle On the other hand polymeric materials have elastic properties However it is normally difficult to have in the same material both properties of high strength to sustain high loads and high toughness to absorb a large amount of energy during fracture that occurs by breaking of primary and secondary bonds depending upon the structure of the material1 Inorganics are orginally introduced into polymers as fine solids to act as fillers or as reinforcing agents The mineral fillers are used to dilute and hence to reduce the amount of the final polymers used in the shaped structures thereby lowering the economic high cost of the polymers However reinforced polymers with minerals show an increase in modulus hardness tensile strength tear resistance abrasion and resistance to fatigue and cracking2
