“…This NTE material has been used for the reduction of CTE of polyimide, polyester and epoxy resin [11, 15-17, 23, 24], while, as far as the authors are aware, there are no reports on its use in a PE matrix. On the other hand, the thermomiotics and low CTE compounds from the A 2 M 3 O 12 family are rarely cited in the literature as the dispersed phases for controlling CTE in composites [14,18,19,22,40]. An advantage of the compounds from this family is their wide chemical flexibility, resulting in a variety of orthorhombic phases with CTEs ranging between -11 9 10 -6 and 2 9 10 -6 K -1 [8,41,42].…”
