Notes:
The mixing required for post-mould gelatinisation of syntactic foams using starch asbinder was studied. It was found that starch particles tend to adhere to hollow microspheres duringmixing, forming agglomerates. A transition in the buoyancy of microsphere-starch phases wasfound at a particular volume fraction of starch. The transitional point was close to a volume fractionof starch at which a calculated relative density for a system consisting of multiple starch particlesper microsphere was unity. Starch-microsphere inter-distance appears to be an important parameteraffecting starch content in an agglomeration
