The present invention relates to curable compositions which comprise (meth)acrylic monomers, ethylenically unsaturated oligomers and a specific multistage polymer additive. The additive is used as a processing aid to reduce cure shrinkage and reduce or prevent the formation of cracks during the polymerization of the composition.

The present invention discloses an artificial stone slab, wherein the raw materials are mixed, pressed, and solidified, and the raw material comprises a main material and an auxiliary material. The main material, according to the total weight ratio of raw materials, comprises from about 20% to about 85% of particles containing hydroxide or metal oxide, from about 0% to about 50% of natural quartz, and from about 5% to about 25% of resin. The auxiliary material comprises a coupling agent and a curing agent, wherein the weight ratio of the coupling agent to the resin is from about 0.6:100 to about 2:100, and the weight ratio of the curing agent to the resin is from about 0.8:100 to about 1.2:100. The present invention also provides methods for manufacturing the aforesaid artificial stone slab. The present invention replaces natural quartz particles with particles containing hydroxide or metal oxide and ensures that the performance of the slab is up to standard, that the quality is more stable and easier to control, the decorative results are better, and finally, the mining of natural quartz is reduced by 10 times, achieving the objectives of greater environmental protection and lower costs. The resulting slab provides stable performance with good decorative results and thus saves resources and is conducive to environmental protection.

A glass/quartz composite structure comprises quartz grit (and/or nan-glass crystals), quartz powder and glass grit wherein the glass grit is in an amount greater than any other single material by weight of the composite structure (e.g. a combined weight of the quartz grit, quartz powder, glass grit, resin, and coupling agent). Natural stone components, which may include the quartz grit and quartz powder, may be in an amount greater than 30% by weight of the composite structure. The structure may be formed into a 1.2-1.5 cm thick slab for countertops using standard cabinet perimeter support. The slab may be made by mixing the quartz grit, quartz powder, glass grit, and binding resin, pouring the mixture in a mold, and compacting the mixture in the mold. Specific natural mineral components, decorative chips, and/or wet mixture pieces may be added to the composite structure to provide aesthetics of specific natural stones.
