摘要：

Aqueous suspensions of colloidal silicas are readily silylated with either chlorosilanes or disiloxanes in the presence of acid and isopropyl alcohol without aggregation of the silica particle. By using a mixture of chlorosilanes or disiloxanes, spherical nanoparticles with controlled functionality can be made and transferred to an organic phase to provide stable, water free suspensions. The hydrophobic silica particles readily disperse into silicone polymers. At sufficient loading levels, they provide mechanical reinforcement comparable to traditional fillers but with improved clarity and lower viscosities. Modulus and durometer control in the cured elastomer is possible by varying the ratio of the vinyl concentration on the filler particle to the vinyl concentration in the polymer phase.
