Mechanically Induced Silica-Siloxane Mixtures. Structure of the Adsorbed Layer and Properties of the Network Structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Properties specific to silica—siloxane mixtures are analysed and discussed. The effect of polymer adsorption is interpreted from the Gaussian statistics of chains: the amount of adsorbed polymer Qr is proportional to the square root of the chain molecular weight. The kinetics of adsorption is described as a process of surface saturation. It is discussed as a function of the silica concentration. The effect of swelling of the mixtures is interpreted within the statistical framework proposed by Flory for ordinary gels.
