To study the dispersion factors of silica sol prepared from fumed silica powder, we prepared silica sol under an aqueous system using a batch type bead mill. The dispersion properties of silica sol have a close relationship to dispersion factors such as pH, milling time and speed, the size and amount of zirconia beads, the solid content of fumed silica, and the shape and diameter of the milling impellers. Especially, the silica particles in silica sol were found to show dispersion stability on a pH value above 7, due to the electrostatic repulsion between the particles having a high zeta potential value. The shape and diameter of the impellers installed in the bead mill for the dispersion of fumed silica was very important in reducing the particle size of the aggregated silica. The median particle size ($D_{50}$) of silica sol obtained after milling was also optimized according to the variation of the size and amount of the zirconia beads that were used as the grinding medium, and according to the solid content of fumed silica. The dispersion properties of silica sol were investigated using zeta potential, turbiscan, particle size analyzer, and transmission electron microscopy.

In this study, as a material used to replace silica fumes for high strength concrete, nano-silica compound with organic functional group for dispersion and with inorganic silica group that can cause a pozzolan reaction is synthesized, These nano silica compound is divided into IC, which is nano size $SiO_2$ with irregularly combined hydroxyl group and carboxyl group, and RC, which is nano size $SiO_2$ with regularly combined hydroxyl group and carboxyl group. The effects of these nano silica compound on the hydration of cement are reviewed. As a result, all of synthesized nano-silica compounds have excellent dispersion on the cement flow, we think that dispersion property is the effect of air entraining by synthesized nano-silica compounds. The result of the microstructure observation showed that the particle size of the synthesized nano-silica is smaller than silica fume and spread evenly among the cement particles. In initial The phenomenon of strength decreasing occurred due to delayed hydration reaction by the synthesized nano-silica with carboxyl(-COOH) and hydroxyl(-OH) functional group.

Silica-polyurethane hybrid breathable films were prepared and their breathabilities were assessed. Appropriately aggregated silica was prepared through sol-gel reaction of water glass and its particle size ranged 360~500nm. The polyurethane dispersion was prepared by the reaction of isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) as diisocyanate and polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG) and dimethylol propionic acid(DMPA) as polyol, particle size ranging 30~120nm. The reaction between isocyanate and hydroxyl group to form urethane bonding was checked by the intensity of the stretch peak of isocyanate at $2270cm^{-1}$ in the FT-IR. The silica was incorporated into polyurethane dispersion and casted into film. It was shown that the incorporated silica(1~5wt.%) increased water vapour permeability of the films by 30~100%, and decreased the hydrostatic pressure by 10~40%. From the results, it could be concluded that the appropriate hybridization of silica can increase the breathability of polyurethane dispersion film, while minimizing the loss of hydrostatic pressure.

The effect of the silica content on the state and properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber (SBR/BR) compounds containing coupling and dispersion agents was evaluated by varying the content of silica from 50 to 120 phr. Bis-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide (TESPT) and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate (ZEH) were used as the coupling and dispersion agents, respectively. The maximum silica content in the pristine material was 80 phr, which increased to 120 phr upon the addition of TESPT and ZEH. The incorporation of TESPT considerably improved most of the rubber properties due to its coupling action and the suppression of silica flocculation, while further addition of ZEH resulted in additional improvements. The properties of the rubber compounds with different silica contents can be fully explained either by an enhancement of the rubber-silica interactions or by their deterioration due to an excessive amount of silica aggregates.

Core/shell ($\pm$)PS/(-)silica nanocomposite particles were synthesized by dispersion polymerization using an amphoteric initiator, 2,2'-azobis [N-(2-carboxyethyl)-2,2-methylpropionamidine] ($HOOC(CH_2)_2HN$(HN=) $C(CH_3)_2CN$=NC $(CH_3)_2C$(=NH)NH $(CH_2)_2COOH$), VA-057. Negatively charged (-6.9 mV) silica was used as the stabilizer. The effects of silica addition time and silica and initiator concentrations were investigated in terms of polymerization kinetics, ultimate particle morphology, and size/size distribution. Uniform hybrid microspheres with a well-defined, core-shell structure were obtained at the following conditions: silica content = 10-15 wt% to styrene, VA-057 content=above 2 wt% to styrene and silica addition time=0 min after initiation. The delay in silica addition time retarded the polymerization kinetics and broadened the particle size distribution. The rate of polymerization was strongly affected by the silica content: it increased up to 15 wt% silica but then decreased with further increase in silica content. However, the particle size was only marginally influenced by the silica content. The zeta potential of the composite particles slightly decreased with increasing silica content. With increasing VA-057 concentration, the PS microspheres were entirely coated with silica sol above 1.0 wt% initiator.

하이드록시기 유무, 극성도, 분자 크기가 서로 다른 용매 6종의 단일 용매 또는 혼합 용매계 흄드 실리카 분산체를 제조하고 각 분산체의 점도 및 유변학적 거동을 용매계의 특성의 관점에서 고찰하였다. 하이드록시기 포함 용매에 실리카를 분산하였을 때 안정적이고 저점도의 sol을 형성하였고 하이드록시기가 없고 비극성인 용매는 고점도의 gel을 형성하였다. 비극성 용매계 실리카 분산체에 하이드록시기 함유 용매를 첨가하면 일정 함량까지는 점도 감소 현상을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 더 이상의 점도 변화가 발생하지 않는 최소 임계함량이 있었다. 최소 임계함량은 하이드록시기 미포함 용매의 극성도가 클수록 줄어들었다. 하이드록시기 포함 용매계 실리카 분산체가 안정적인 저점도의 sol을 형성하는데 이는 실리카 표면의 실란올기와 용매의 하이드록시기간의 수소결합을 통한 용매화로 저점도 sol을 형성하는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 비극성용매에 실리카를 분산하였을 때는 실리카 표면의 실란올기 사이의 수소 결합을 통해 응집이 일어나 고점도의 gel이 형성되었다.

Various studies have been conducted to improve silica dispersion of silica filled tire tread compounds; among them, silica wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is known to be suitable for manufacturing silica filled compounds that have high silica content and high dispersibility. Till now, the WMB study is focused on the natural rubber (NR) or emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR) that does not have a silica-affinity functional group, and a study of NR or ESBR having a silica-affinity functional group is still not well known. Unlike the dry masterbatch technology, the WMB technology can solve the problems associated with the high Mooney viscosity when applied to silica-friendly rubber. However, a coagulant suitable for each functional group has not yet been determined. Therefore, in this study, different coagulant applied silica WMB was prepared by applying calcium chloride, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid by using a carboxyl group functionalized reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer ESBR. The evaluation of the WMB compounds revealed that the calcium chloride added WMB compound showed excellent silica dispersion, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance.

Maleic anhydride로 처리된 저분자량 폴리부타디엔 (액상 PB)이 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 실리카 분산은 액상 PB의 첨가에 의해 향상되었다. Maleic anhydride가 포함된 액상 PB가 maleic anhydride가 포함되지 않은 액상 PB보다 실리카 분산성 향상에 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. SBR 배합물의 점도는 액상 PB가 첨가됨에 따라 감소하였다. 가교밀도는 액상 PB의 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 가황 속도는 느려졌다. 실험 결과를 고려하면, 5 phr 이하의 소량으로 액상 PB를 첨가함으로써 실리카로 보강된 SBR 배합물의 특성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

실리카로 충전된 SBR(styrene butadiene rubber)/BR(butadiene rubber) 합성고무 복합소재에 대해서 가공기기의 구조가 실리카 분산에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 주사전자 현미경(SEM-scanning electron microscope)을 이용하여 컴파운드의 모폴로지를 관찰하였다. Internal mixer 내에서 intermeshing rotor와 tangential rotor에 의해 배합된 컴파운드를 비교한 결과, intermeshing rotor에 의해 가공되었을 경우 실리카 입자가 더 고르게 분산 및 분포되었음을 관찰하였다. Rotor의 geometry 차이에 의해 intermeshing rotor가 tangential rotor보다 더 큰 전단력(shear)을 컴파운드에 전달하여 실리카 입자를 효과적으로 분산 및 분배시킨 것으로 판단된다.

Studies were performed on preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid silica dye in a dispersing ink system. The silica was subjected to surface modification using 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) in order to promote the chemical reactivity of the raw silica. On the surfaces of the aminosilane-functionalised silica, red vinylsulfone-containing azo dye was adsorbed. The dye was found to have chemically reacted with the aminosilane-grafted silica surface, which was proven by FT-IR spectra. Studies on morphology and microstructure were performed employing scanning electron microscopy. The SEM micrographs and particle size distributions showed that a homogeneous pigment can be obtained employing silica as a core. Particle size distribution was also examined using the technique of dynamic light scattering. The ensuing pigment was subjected to various physicochemical evaluation such as inkjet property, storage stability, color change as inkjet ink using printer, spectrophotometric, microscopic techniques. Studies on hybrid dyes from the silica surface demonstrated that, in general, stable pigments for inkjet dispersion ink were obtained.
