D.sub.sur, first and D.sub.int, second are 5-30 μm, and D.sub.sur, second and D.sub.int, first are 5 to 20% of respectively D.sub.sur, first and D.sub.int, second. A dispersion index of the particles having the major axis length of 20 μm or longer is 5 or more, both in the sliding surface side region in view of the first cross-section and in the interface side region in view of the second cross-section.

A sized reinforcing filler, comprising a filler and a sizing agent disposed on at least a portion of the filler, to be used for reinforcement for plastics is disclosed. The sizing agent is based upon at least one of a polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, a silane-grafted polyvinyl alcohol and a silane-grafted ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, a silane-grafted polyvinyl alcohol and a silane-grafted ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer. The polyvinyl alcohol is useful as a size for all types of fibers and particles to reinforce all types of commodity and engineering plastics, particularly polyolefin resins, to form polymer composites. As such, polymer composites reinforced with such sized reinforcing fillers, as well as articles, components, and products including such polymers composites, are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to glass fiber-filled polyamide compositions. In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a composition including a polyamide having a relative viscosity (RV) of from ≥20 to ≤36. From ≥10 to ≤62 weight percent of the composition is glass fibers blended with the polyamide, based on the weight of the polyamide including the glass fibers. The composition can have a polyamide RV of >22 to <30.2, an elongation-at-break of 4% to 20%, at least 5 wt % of the glass fibers have a length of equal to or greater than 700 microns, or a combination thereof.

A modeling compound having at least one binder including plastisol and at least one filler and optionally other substances. The plastisol is composed essentially of PVC and plasticizers, wherein the at least one filler is in the form of plastic fibers.

A boron nitride particle having a bent shape. A resin composition containing the boron nitride particle and a resin. A method for producing a resin composition including a step of preparing the boron nitride particle and a step of mixing the boron nitride particle with a resin.

The present teachings generally provide for a reinforcing patch for stiffening vehicle panels. The reinforcing patch may be fabric free (e.g., free of any reinforcing layer). The reinforcing patch may be cut into small shapes, complex shapes, or both. The stiffening material may be free of a mesh or a fabric, which may allow the reinforcing patch material to be easily produced and easily reprocessed. The reinforcing patch may include one or more reinforcing particulates in combination with one or more discontinuous fiber components to obtain stiffness comparable to traditional patches which include a mesh/fabric layer.
