Abstract
A filler particle containing fibres, in which two or more fibres are enclosed at least partially in a solid particle made of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyphenylene sulfides, liquid-crystal polymers, polyphenylene sulfones, polyether sulfones, thermoplastic polyimides, polyamide-imides, epoxy resins, perfluoroalkoxy polymers and any mixtures of two or more of the abovementioned polymers, wherein the end opposite the end enclosed in the solid particle of at least some fibres protrudes out of the solid particle. The fibres having a maximum length of 1000 μm and a maximum thickness of 100 μm. Such fibres can be obtained by mixing the polymer with fibres, by melting the polymer and/or chemical reaction of the polymer components, by cooling the mixture of molten polymer and fibres to give a solid fibre-polymer composite and by comminution of the fibre-polymer composite to give filler particles containing fibres a maximum length of 1000 μm.
