1. Material Composition and Architectural Style 1.1 Glass Chemistry and Spherical Design (Hollow glass microspheres) Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) are microscopic, spherical fragments made up of alkali borosilicate or soda-lime glass, usually ranging from 10 to 300 micrometers in diameter, with wall thicknesses between 0.5 and 2 micrometers. Their defining feature is a closed-cell, hollow…

Introduction to Hollow Glass Microspheres Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) are hollow, spherical bits generally made from silica-based or borosilicate glass products, with sizes normally varying from 10 to 300 micrometers. These microstructures show an unique combination of low thickness, high mechanical stamina, thermal insulation, and chemical resistance, making them very functional throughout multiple commercial and…
