No other units of measurement are included inthis standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated w

4、ith its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D6738 Test Method for Precipitated SilicaVolatile Con-tent3. Summ

5、ary of Test Method3.1 An ion exchange reaction in silica is possible based onthe acidic character of the surface silanol groups. According toSears,3it is possible to determine the surface area of colloidalsilica on the basis of this ion exchange mechanism, aftercertain preliminary treatments, by tit

6、ration with a basic solu-tion. The initial preliminary treatment step consists of exposureof the silica to a sufficiently concentrated solution of sodiumchloride (NaCl). After this the suspension of silica and NaCl isback-titrated with sodium hydroxide solution.3.2 A 1.5 g sample of silica is weighe

7、d into a 250 cm3beaker containing 150 cm3NaCl solution adjusted to pH 3. Thesuspension is stirred for 3 min and brought to 25C. Thesuspension is titrated first to pH 4 and then to pH 9 using asodium hydroxide solution (c = 0.1 mol/dm3). The volume ofsodium hydroxide solution that is reacted between

8、pH 4 and pH9 is calculated and corrected with the volatile matter deter-mined according to Test Method D6738. The consumption ofsodium hydroxide solution minus the blank reading withoutsilica is defined as the Sears Number given in cm3/1.5 g. Thespecific consumption of sodium hydroxide solution in a

9、 silicasuspension depends primarily on the silica surface area, thedensity of the silanol groups, and the degree of hydrophobicity.4. Significance and Use4.1 The rubber-filler interaction needed in silica technologyfor the rubber industry is based on the use of silane-couplingagents that react with

10、the silanol groups on the surface of thesilica during the processing step called silanization. Silane-coupling agents are multifunctional molecules able to createmolecular bridges between the elastomer or rubber matrix andthe silica surface.5.
