Abstract

Hollow glass microspheres (HGM) have been employed in a wide range of applications such as thermal insulating coatings for construction and transportation applications and for acoustic insulation coatings. As such, it is expected for the HGM to exhibit an extremely high pressure tolerance in order to endure the harsh environment. In this present study, an effort has been made to investigate the mechanical properties of hollow glass microsphere. The glass sphere with diameters between 5-30 µm, 50-90 µm and 90-125 µm were used for this investigation. This study's objectives are to investigate the strength of HGM and gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanical characteristics of the sintered spheres.
