Abstract (EN): This work studies the synthesis of low density particles (LDPs) based on crosslinked polyester, each particle containing numerous air-filled vesicles. Due to its particular internal structure and rigidity they can be used as fillers in wood-based panels to reduce the final density and keep their desired mechanical performance. Important process variables as stirring conditions, type of cure initiator and drying conditions were studied. Particles well vesiculated and with diameters in the range 1- 4 mm were prepared and its performance in wood-based panels is an on-going study.
