example 2 added 5 by weight benzoyl peroxide and were applied as thin films on the surface of glass slides and aluminum panels the slides and panels were cured in an oven at 200 u00b0 c for 20 minutes the resulting cured films were hard and insoluble in water and in methyl ethyl ketone the binder composition 12 5 g as prepared in example 2 by reaction of one equivalent epoxidized linseed oil with one equivalent multifunctional carboxylic acid a containing 5 by weight benzoyl peroxide was added to 250 g glass beads the combination was mixed for 10 minutes and used to form glass bead binder composites the composites were cured in oven at 200 u00b0 c for 20 minutes the tensile strength of the composites and moisture resistance were measured by measuring water pickup by weight the tensile strength and moisture resistance were comparable with commercial fiberglass sizing resins to 87 g water 4 0 g sodium hydroxide was added and dissolved to this solution 20 g poly styrene maleic anhydride sma was added and the mixture was stirred and heated to 90 u00b0 c until sma was dissolved the solution was cooled to 60 u00b0 c and while under high agitation 8 7 g epoxidized linseed oil was added and emulsified the emulsion was tested by dynamic mechanical measurement by increasing the temperature at 20 c.
