For this, fine-particle inorganic spheres and organic spheres are used. However, the former has a defect that the base material is scratched during compression, while the latter has a defect that there is a repulsive force after compression and a dimensional error becomes large. Therefore, as a solution to these drawbacks, it is conceivable to use an inorganic sphere whose surface is coated with an organic substance such as a synthetic resin. Here, a surface fusion method (hereinafter referred to as mechanofusion) is known as a method of coating the inorganic fine particles in a synthetic resin.
This is by mixing inorganic fine particles such as glass spheres with a predetermined ultrafine resin powder and applying strong mechanical energy,
This is a method of causing intense friction between particles to generate heat, and the heat generation softens the resin powder adhered to the surface of the inorganic particles to form a film.

Are dispersed and held in an aqueous medium in which a predetermined monomer is suspended or emulsified. The predetermined monomer is selected as a vinyl-based monomer compatible with the polymer layer and capable of softening the polymer phase.

As the above-mentioned monomer, a monomer of a polymer which usually forms a polymer phase is preferable, but not limited thereto. The above aqueous medium is prepared by adding a known suspension stabilizer in order to enhance suspension stability. The aqueous medium is preferably prepared as an emulsion.
