Present silica dispersing agents are based mainly on fatty acid derivatives of Zn, K and mixture of fatty acid and metallic soaps are used to increase activity. The viscosity of silica filled rubber is lowered by Zn-K soap type silica dispersing agent, thus fluidity of hydrocarbon chains and processibility is improved. Silica dispersing agent should not exert an influence on chracteristics of vulcanization. But scorch and curing time is shortened by Zn-K soap type silica dispersing agent. A newly developed silica dispersing agent, which is a nonmetal type agent, reduced the viscosity and hardness of silica compounding rubber, and the highly increased degree of dispersion of silica is caused by interaction of silica and rubber. Also it did not affect the curing characteristics and scorch stability of silica compounding rubber.

The application of silica/carbon black dual phase fillers to natural rubber(NR) compound was investigated. When the amounts of filler content were restricted to 60phr, the optimum ratio of dual phase fillers were 25phr/35phr of silica/carbon black. It was found that these new fillers give better overall performance in comparison with carbon black in tear strength, crack resistance, and cutting resistance. Also the thermal degradation resistance of NR vulcanizates which were filled with dual phase fillers was better than that of the carbon black. Dual phase fillers filled NR vulcanizates showed better viscoelastic properties, like tan${\delta}$, for the wet skid resistance and rolling resistance of motor vehicle tires.

New coupling agent or surface modified agent (9-decenoic acid) was used to enhance the compatibility between silica and polystyrene in silica/polystyrene hybrid nanocomposite, synthesized by in situ miniemulsion polymerization. Composites contain well dispersed nanosize silica particles. Related tests and analyses confirmed the success of synthesis. Functionalization of silica by 9-decenoic acid and silica on the polystyrene was confirmed by FTIR. TGA showed presence and amount of silica in final latex. The glass transition temperature of the hybrid nanocomposite was increased with the silica amount. SEM and TEM analysis showed the spherical morphology of PS and composite with an average diameter of 55 nm. The presence of silica within composite was confirmed by EDS attached to the existing TEM.

In this work, the effect of hydrophobic treated silica on the water absorption, thermal stabilities, and mechanical properties of the epoxy nanocomposites were investigated as a function of the silica content. As filler, fumed silica treated by dimethyldichlorosilane was used. It was found that the silica was well dispersed in the epoxy resins by the melt-mixing method with the addition of a silane coupling agent. The water absorption of the nanocomposites decreased with an increase of the silica content due to the effect of hydrophobic treated silica. The thermal properties, such as thermal degradation temperature, glass transition temperature ($T_g$), and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), of the nanocomposites were improved by the addition of silica. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, that is, the tensile strength and modulus, were enhanced with increasing silica content. This was attributed to the physically strong interaction between silica and epoxy resins.

As part of planning for waste minimization, decontamination foam has been considered as a potential application for the cleaning of radioactive contaminant. In this study, we synthesized silica particles to improve foam stability by varying synthesis parameters. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was found to influence the stability of the decontamination foam. The reason was that higher interaction between $SiO_2$ nanoparticles and surfactant at the air-water interface in aqueous solution is beneficial for foam stability. CTAB can also be used as an additive for the aggregation of silica nanoparticles. In the separation of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, CTAB plays a critical role in the nanoparticles flocculation because of the charge neutralization and hydrophobic effects of its hydrocarbon tails.

We used dipodal type bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMA) silane coupling agent to modify silica nanoparticles to introduce secondary amino groups on the silica surface. These grafted N-H groups were reacted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to introduce polymerizable methacrylate groups on the silica surface. After modification reaction, we used several analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA) and solid state $^{13}C$ cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to analyze the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration on the modification degree between N-H groups on the silica surface and epoxide groups of GMA. We found increased introduction of methacrylate groups on the silica surface by ring opening reaction of epoxide groups of GMA with N-H groups on BTMA treated silica with increased reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration within our experimental conditions.

전기분무 증착법(electrospray deposition)으로 형성된 실리카($SiO_2$) 코팅층의 경우 단순한 입자들의 응집체이므로 초소수성의 높은 접촉각을 보이지만 약한 접합력으로 인하여 실제 응용에 제한이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온 열처리를 통한 실리카 입자간의 네킹(necking)현상을 이용하여 실리카 코팅층의 네킹을 유도하여 접합력이 향상된 실리카 코팅층을 얻고자 하였으며, 이 코팅층의 초소수 특성을 평가하였다. 적절한 온도 범위에서의 열처리는 표면 거칠기와 접합력 측면에서 모두 좋은 특성을 보였고, 최종적으로는 불소화 처리를 하여 접합력이 향상된 실리카 초소수성 코팅층을 형성할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 여러 종류의 담체 중에서 Davison 952 실리카를 선택하여 실리카 표면의 하이드록시기의 양을 진공열처리 방법을 사용하여 조절하였다. 표면 처리된 실리카를 사용하여 담지촉매를 제조한 후 폴리에틸렌 (PE) 중합을 수행, 소성온도에 따른 실리카 표면의 하이드록시기 양의 변화와 담지되는 조촉매(MAO) 및 메탈로센 촉매의 양과의 상관관계를 조사하였고 실리카 표면처리와 중합 활성도 간의 상관관계를 고찰하였다. 폴리에틸렌(PE) 중합 결과 메탈로센 촉매가 가장 많이 담지된 200℃ 보다 400℃ 또는 600℃ 에서 메탈로센 당(g PE/mol Zr) 활성도가 높았으며, 담체에 흡착된 MAO와 메탈로센의 비율이 400℃와 600℃에서 가장 크게 나타났다.
