Pumice, which is prevalent in Ethiopia, is formed naturally during the quick cooling and solidifying of molten lava. Pumice is a naturally occurring mineral that, due to its high thermal resistance and lightweightness, can be an excellent candidate for reinforcing material for polymers. The present...
