  • Publication number: 20130267630
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are glass bubbles that are surface treated to obtain a metallic texture, and have a similar specific gravity to that of plastic. Thus, there is a low possibility of occurrence of appearance defects even when a material obtained by compounding the glass bubbles and the plastic is injection molded and a master batch including the glass bubbles and plastic to improve a miscibility of the glass bubbles and the plastic. The glass bubbles each include a spherical shell and a surface treatment layer formed on a surface of the shell, the spherical shell having a hollow hole so as to decrease a specific gravity of the glass bubbles and the surface treatment layer being formed by surface treatment to obtain a metallic texture.
