The polymerization-filling technique has been used to coat glass beads by a polyolefinic layer. This precoating allows for improving the mechanical properties of polyethylene composites prepared by melt-blending HDPE with the surface-modified filler. As a typical example, a 10-fold increase of the impact resistance has been measured for HDPE filled with polyethylene surface-coated glass beads (20 wt % filler), as compared with that of the same composite containing however unmodified glass particles.
