Particulate material, composites containing said material, and a method of making said particulate material. The material is composed of at least about 85% (number basis) of regular, well-defined ellipsoidal particles having a size less than about 25 microns, at least 90% and 50% by weight of the particles being less than about 15 and 10 microns in size respectively, a surface area of about 0.75 to about 2.5 square meters per gram and a specific gravity of about 2 to 3. The composites contain this particulate material and up to about 99% of one or more polymeric media. The particulate material is produced by subjecting a diverse mixture of flyash particles to dry air classification in an air classifier controlled to recover particulate particles as described above.

The composites contain said particulate material and up to about 99% of one or more polymeric media. The particulate material may be prepared by subjecting a diverse mixture of flyash particles to dry air classification in an air classifier controlled to recover particulate solids as described above.
