Answer to Question 1

Fillers can increase mechanical properties by reducing the degradation that occurs during some heating cycles. Fillers can decrease mechanical properties by decreasing the flowability of the resin and therefore preventing the resin from moving uniformly throughout the mold. Decreased mechanical properties would also occur if the filler interferes with the fusion of the plastic particles.

Answer to Question 2

The thickness of the material determines, to some extent, the length of the heating cycle. If too much time is required to properly heat and fuse all of the material, some resin may begin to degrade. Hence, the limit on thickness is imposed by the maximum length of time before degradation occurs.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
