Abstract
Abstract A low density, resinous filament-wound composite having fiber glass filaments embedded in a resinous matrix containing hollow glass microspheres whose surface is treated with a viscosity and bond improving agent such as a silane having at least one amino group and which microspheres are present in an amount of up to about 35 weight percent of the composite, whereby the composite has an improved weight-strength ratio.
