“…Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) is commonly added in different shapes (round particles, rods, platelets) to polymers as the inorganic filler possessing many favorable features, such as ease of being incorporated in macromolecular materials, low environmental impact and toxicity, wide availability, and cheapness. This low-cost filler in micrometric size is able to improve the characteristics of epoxy coatings and paints (i.e., hardness, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, Young modulus), as well as the performance of epoxy-based adhesives and composites (i.e., tensile and flexural strengths, impact strength and toughness, wear resistance), to enhance the flashover voltage properties of epoxy intended for electrical applications [ 3 , 5 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
