Process for the production of a composite material based on a polymer matrix comprising homogeneously dispersed therein an organic and/or inorganic filler, said process consisting in mixing together the aqueous dispersions of the single components, in which the dispersed particles of the dispersion have a surface charge of the same sign and 'zeta potential' between 10 and 100 mV (in absolute value) and wherein the ratio (in absolute value) between the 'zeta potentials' of the particles of each dispersion is between 0.2 and 5.

Process for the production of a composite material based on a polymer

This invention relates to a process for stabilizing ferromagnetic chromium dioxide in respect of water and oxidizable organic compounds which it may contact in magnetic tapes. The process is applicable to a starting CrO.sub.2 having good magnetic properties, i.e. a coercive force not lower than about 400 Oersted, a maximum magnetic induction B.sub.m not lower than about 2500 gauss, and a magnetic induction B.sub.r not lower than about 1600 gauss. The CrO.sub.2 is subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature ranging from 300.degree. to 390.degree. C. in the presence of a gas stream not exerting any oxidizing or reducing action on the compounds of trivalent, tetravalent and hexavalent chromium. Suitable gases are, for example, nitrogen, helium and argon.

Process for stabilizing ferromagnetic chromium dioxide

A ferromagnetic chromium dioxide stabilized by coating the particles thereof with a stabilizing substance is disclosed, wherein the stabilizing substance consists essentially of an equimolecular mixture of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and MnO or of a mixture of ferrite MeFe.sub.2 O.sub.4 with oxides Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and MeO, wherein Me represents Cu, Co, Zn or Mg and wherein the molar ratio Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 /MeO is equal to 1, the quantity of the ferrite in the mixture being such as results from calcining, at temperature between 250.degree. and 350.degree. C., equimolecular quantities of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 and MeO. A process for obtaining the stabilized CrO.sub.2 is also disclosed wherein the CrO.sub.2 is dispersed in water and on it are co-precipitated Fe(OH).sub.3 and Mn(OH).sub.2 or Me(OH).sub.2 in stoichiometric quantities with respect to each other; after which the CrO.sub.2, in admixture with the hydroxides, is separated from the water, dried at a temperature not exceeding 100.degree. C. and then calcined at temperatures between 250.degree. and 350.degree. C.
