Kev tiv thaiv kev cuam tshuam yog qhov kev txhim kho tseem ceeb uas muab los ntawm cov hmoov wollastonite hauv epoxy resins. Cov qauv acicular ntawm cov additive ua haujlwm ua tus ntes tawg: thaum cov epoxy raug kev cuam tshuam lossis kev ntxhov siab, cov khoom me me zoo li koob hloov pauv thiab nqus lub zog, tiv thaiv kev nthuav dav ntawm cov kab nrib pleb. Qhov no hloov cov epoxy brittle mus rau hauv cov khoom siv ruaj khov thiab ruaj khov dua, ua rau nws tsim nyog rau kev siv xws li cov nplaum hauv kev tsim kho (kev sib txuas cov pob zeb lossis hlau) thiab cov txheej txheem tiv thaiv ntawm cov tshuab, qhov twg kev tiv thaiv kev poob, kev sib tsoo, lossis kev co yog qhov tseem ceeb. Kev sim qhia tau hais tias kev ntxiv 15-25% wollastonite hmoov tuaj yeem ua rau epoxy lub zog cuam tshuam los ntawm 40-60% piv rau cov resin tsis tau ntim.​

Kev nplaum rau cov substrates yog lwm yam khoom tseem ceeb uas ua los ntawm hmoov wollastonite. Nws qhov chaw porous thiab thaj chaw siab txhawb kev sib txuas lus nrog ob qho tib si epoxy matrix thiab cov substrate (xws li hlau, ntoo, lossis pob zeb), tsim kom muaj kev sib txuas zoo dua. Qhov no yog qhov tshwj xeeb tshaj yog rau cov nplaum lag luam siv rau kev sib txuas cov ntaub ntawv sib txawv, qhov twg kev nplaum tsis zoo tuaj yeem ua rau kev sib koom ua tsis tiav. Hauv cov txheej txheem, kev nplaum zoo dua tiv thaiv kev tev tawm thiab kev tawg, txawm tias nyob rau hauv qhov chaw noo lossis raug tshuaj lom neeg, ntev lub neej kev pabcuam ntawm cov chaw tiv thaiv.

Kev kho kom qhuav yog ib qho teeb meem uas tshwm sim ntau hauv cov epoxy resins, ua rau tsis ruaj khov ntawm qhov ntev, kev ntxhov siab sab hauv, thiab txo qis lub zog sib txuas. Hmoov Wollastonite txo qhov ntsws los ntawm 30% thaum lub sijhawm kho, vim nws cov khoom tawv txwv tsis pub qhov ntsws ntawm cov epoxy matrix. Qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb rau cov ntawv thov uas xav tau kev tswj qhov ntev kom meej, xws li kev kaw hluav taws xob lossis kev ua pwm, qhov twg qhov ntsws tuaj yeem ua rau cov khoom puas tsuaj lossis tsim qhov sib txawv. Qhov ntsws txo qis kuj txo qis qhov kev pheej hmoo ntawm kev tawg hauv cov txheej tuab lossis cov nplaum loj, ua kom ntseeg tau tias muaj kev ua haujlwm ntev.

Kev tiv thaiv tshuaj lom neeg tau txhim kho hauv cov khoom sib xyaw epoxy uas muaj wollastonite. Qhov xwm txheej inert ntawm cov additive (nws tiv taus cov kua qaub, alkalis, thiab cov kuab tshuaj) thiab nws lub peev xwm los tsim cov matrix epoxy denser txo qhov nkag mus ntawm cov tshuaj corrosive. Qhov no ua rau cov composites tsim nyog rau kev siv hauv cov chaw ua tshuaj, cov chaw kho dej khib nyiab, thiab cov chaw nyob hauv dej hiav txwv, qhov twg kev raug tshuaj lom neeg hnyav lossis dej ntsev tuaj yeem ua rau epoxy tsis muaj zog puas tsuaj.

Cov txiaj ntsig ntawm kev ua cov hmoov wollastonite yooj yim rau kev sib xyaw rau hauv cov qauv epoxy. Nws qhov kev nqus roj tsawg ua rau muaj cov theem siab ntawm kev thauj khoom yam tsis muaj kev nce viscosity ntau dhau, ua kom cov epoxy yooj yim sib tov, siv, thiab nthuav. Cov xim dawb ntawm cov hmoov kuj tsis cuam tshuam rau qhov xim ntawm epoxy, ua rau muaj kev hloov kho xim nrog cov pigments. Rau ob feem epoxies, wollastonite tsis cuam tshuam rau qhov kev kho kom zoo, ua kom ntseeg tau tias lub sijhawm teeb tsa sib xws thiab kev sib txuas tag nrho.

Qhov loj ntawm cov khoom me me thiab kev kho qhov chaw tso cai rau kev hloov kho rau cov ntawv thov epoxy tshwj xeeb. Cov qib zoo (5–10 microns) yog siv rau hauv cov txheej nyias thiab cov nplaum uas xav tau qhov tiav du, thaum cov qib ntxhib dua (20–40 microns) muab kev txhawb nqa siab tshaj plaws hauv cov ntawv thov kev tsim kho. Wollastonite kho qhov chaw (nrog cov neeg sawv cev silane coupling) txhim kho kev sib raug zoo nrog epoxy resins, txhim kho kev sib kis thiab kev sib txuas ntawm qhov sib txuas ntawm cov khoom sib xyaw thiab matrix rau kev ua tau zoo tshaj plaws.

Kev siv nyiaj tsim nyog ua rau muaj kev siv cov hmoov wollastonite hauv cov khoom sib xyaw epoxy. Piv rau cov iav fiber lossis cov khoom siv carbon fiber, wollastonite muaj kev txuag nyiaj ntau thaum muab kev txhim kho zoo sib xws. Nws lub peev xwm thauj khoom siab kuj txo cov nqi ntawm cov tshuaj epoxy kim uas xav tau, txo cov nqi tsim khoom tag nrho yam tsis muaj kev cuam tshuam rau kev ua haujlwm.

Hauv kev xaus lus, wollastonite hmoov lub peev xwm los txhim kho kev tiv thaiv kev cuam tshuam, txhim kho kev nplaum, txo qhov kev kho kom qhuav, thiab ua kom muaj kev tiv thaiv tshuaj lom neeg ua rau nws yog ib qho khoom siv zoo tshaj plaws rau cov khoom sib xyaw epoxy resin. Nws qhov yooj yim ua thiab kev siv nyiaj tsim nyog txhawb nqa nws siv rau hauv cov nplaum thiab cov txheej txheem kev lag luam, qhov twg kev ruaj khov thiab kev ua tau zoo yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev vam meej mus sij hawm ntev.
