轮胎硫化工艺的设定取决于各组成部件的硫化参数,最终决定轮胎的硫化效率、能耗和成品质量,硫化参数的精确性至关重要。橡胶制品的硫化交联反应符合1级动力学方程,白炭黑填充胶料的硫化反应不单有硫磺-促进剂的交联反应,还存在白炭黑极性团聚的物理作用,直接使用硫变仪检测数据无法精确表征其硫变行为。基于此,本文对白炭黑填充母炼胶(未加硫)的硫变行为进行研究,表明了白炭黑团聚作用在硫变测试时对扭矩提升的干扰。最后,对白炭黑填充终炼胶和对应母炼胶的硫变曲线依据“时间-扭矩”数据进行“相减”处理,重新绘制出能够更精确表征硫化动力行为的曲线,更好地指导含白炭黑胶料的轮胎硫化工艺设定。

Modification of the rheological properties of polyurethanes by adding fumed silica: influence of the preparation procedure

The way of addition of fumed silica determined the rheological properties of polyurethane (PU) adhesives. The higher the shear rate during preparation of fumed silica containingPU adhesives, the higher viscosity and improved plasticity and thixotropy in the solutions. The improved properties of these adhesive solutions were ascribed to the creation of interactions between the silanol groups on the fumed silica, the polar groups in the soft segments of the polyurethane and/or the solvent. However, the way of incorporate the fumed silica in the polyurethane did not affect the rheological properties of fumed silica-PU composites (obtained by solvent removal from the solutions), indicating the key role of the solvent in the rheology of PU adhesive solutions.     

Structure of fumed silica gels in dodecane: enhanced network by oscillatory shear

The structure and viscoelastic properties of fumed silica gels in dodecane were studied by means of dynamic rheology. With increasing the specific surface area of fumed silica nanoparticles, the plateau elastic modulus (G′), which is frequency-independent and shows the characteristic of a network of the fumed silica gels, decreases. Such networks of fumed silica gels show a significant temperature-dependent behavior and a transition temperature (T _c) related with the restructuring of nanoparticle chain aggregates of fumed silica in gels. Under oscillatory shear, the fumed silica gels experience disorganization and reorganization and present strong structural recovery ability after adjusting oscillatory shear (AOS) at small strain amplitudes (1–10%), and a more perfect network structure than that in origin gels can be induced. Elevated temperature (above T _c) improves the network structure to be more compact and stronger than that at a lower temperature, as a result, the deformation resistance during the AOS period and the structural recovery after AOS are enhanced. These results indicate that the network structure and viscoelastic properties of fumed silica gels can be tailored and optimized by performing small-amplitude oscillatory shear at a properly selected temperature.     

Use of calcium carbonate – fumed silica mixtures as filler in polyurethane adhesives

Natural ultramicronized calcium carbonate and mixtures of fumed silica‐natural ultramicronized calcium carbonate are proposed as fillers of solvent based polyurethane (PU) adhesives. PU adhesive containing only calcium carbonate shows similar rheological, thermal, mechanical, surface and adhesion properties than the PU adhesive without filler. Addition of 90 wt% fumed silica +10 wt% calcium carbonate mixture to PU adhesive produced a similar performance than the PU adhesive containing only famed silica. The increase in the amount of natural calcium carbonate in respect to fumed silica in the filler mixture produced detrimental effect on the rheological and mechanical properties of the PU adhesives (in respect to those provided by the PU adhesive only containing fumed silica), although the surface and adhesion properties were not noticeably modified.     

Dispersion stabilities and rheological properties of fumed silica suspensions

Herein, we have reviewed fumed silica suspensions in dispersing fluids, polymer melts, and polymer solutions, focusing on their dispersion stability and rheological properties as a function of the surface character of fumed silica powders and the silica volume fraction, ?. Hydrophilic fumed silica powders are well dispersed at ? < 0.01 in polar dispersing fluids or polar polymer melts, and their phase states change from sol to gel with increasing ?. Such changes should also be strongly related to the rheological responses of the hydrophilic fumed silica suspensions, which change from Newtonian flow behavior to gel-like elasticity with increasing ?. On the other hand, hydrophobic fumed silica powders are stabilized in both polar and nonpolar dispersing fluids, depending on the interactions between the surface hydrophobic moieties and the dispersing fluids, in addition to those between the residual surface silanol groups and dispersing fluid, except for the particle–particle interactions. Moreover, the effects of the adsorption and desorption of polymers, as well as of non-adsorbing polymers on the dispersion stability and rheological behavior of fumed silica suspensions are discussed, by taking account of their optical microscopic observation and SANS curves.

Interaction of poly(ethylene oxide) with fumed silica

Interaction of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, 600 kDa) with fumed silica A-300 (SBET = 316 m2/g) was investigated under different conditions using adsorption, infrared (IR), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), AFM, and quantum chemical methods. The studied dried silica/PEO samples were also carbonized in a flow reactor at 773 K. The structural characteristics of fumed silica, PEO/silica, and pyrocarbon/fumed silica were investigated using nitrogen adsorption-desorption at 77.4 K. PEO adsorption isotherm depicts a high affinity of PEO to the fumed silica surface in aqueous medium. PEO adsorbed in the amount of 50 mg per gram of silica (PEO monolayer corresponds to CPEO approximately 190 mg/g) can disturb approximately 70% of isolated surface silanols. However, at the monolayer coverage, only 20% of oxygen atoms of PEO molecules take part in the hydrogen bonding with the surface silanols. An increase in the PEO amount adsorbed on fumed silica leads to a diminution of the specific surface area and contributions of micro- (pore radius R < 1 nm) and mesopores (1 < R < 25 nm) to the pore volume but contribution of macropores (R > 25 nm) increases with CPEO. Quantum chemical calculations of a complex of a PEO fragment with a tripple bond SiOH group of a silica cluster in the gas phase and with consideration for the solvent (water) effect show a reduction of interaction energy in the aqueous medium. However, the complex remains strong enough to provide durability of the PEO adsorption complexes on fumed silica; i.e., PEO/fumed silica nanocomposites could be stable in both gaseous and liquid media.     

Surface hydroxylation and silane grafting on fumed and thermal silica

The optimization of the surface functionalization of flat thermal silicon oxide by silanes was investigated. The difficulties are the low density of silanols at the surface of thermal silica, the lack of precise knowledge of the actual surface chemistry of thermal silica and of its hydroxylation, and the limited number of possible chemical analyses at flat surfaces of small area. This steered our study toward a comparative investigation of the hydroxylation and silane grafting of thermal silica and the well-known fumed silica. The silane grafting density for fumed silica that had undergone thermal treatments of dehydroxylation was related to the surface density of silanols. The surface density of silane on the flat thermal silica as measured by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy was 1.4 micromol/m2, similar to that of fumed silica dehydroxylated at 1000 degrees C. This moderate value was related to the low silanol density present on such silica surfaces. Several rehydroxylation treatments that proved their efficiency on dehydroxylated fumed silica did not lead to any noticeable improvement on thermal silicon dioxide.     

Modification of silica surfaces by grafting of alkyl chains. I — Characterization of silica surfaces by inverse gas-solid chromatography at zero surface coverage

Summary The surface properties of fumed and precipitated silicas were modified by esterifying their surface silanol groups with methanol and hexadecanol. Characterization of the silicas by inverse gas-solid chromatography at zero surface coverage revealed that the surface properties of the initial solids varied with their method of preparation. Thermodynamic functions (ΔG, ΔH, ΔS) changed significantly with grafting. Grafting resulted in an significant decrease in the dispersive and specific components of the surface free energy of the solid. The changes were shown to be dependent on the method of preparation of the filler (the biggest effects being particularly observed with fumed silicas) and on the size of the grafted chain (hexadecyl grafts yielding the largest change).     

Rheological properties of polyurethane adhesives containing silica as filler: influence of the nature and surface chemistry of silica

Four silicas, two fumed silicas (one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic) and two precipitated silicas (one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic), were added as filler to solvent‐based polyurethane (PU) adhesive formulations. In general, the addition of silica increased the viscosity, the storage and loss moduli of the PU adhesives but only the hydrophilic fumed silica exhibited pseudoplasticity and thixotropy. The rheological properties imparted by adding filmed silicas to PU adhesive solutions were more noticeable than that of precipitated silicas. Interactions between the hydrophilic fumed silica, the polyurethane and/or the solvent seemed to be responsible for the improved rheological properties of filled PU adhesives.
