Description

Description générale

Fumed silica may be synthesized by high temperature hydrolysis of SiCl₄ in O₂(N₂)/H₂ flame. It is amorphous in nature and possesses very high specific area. The micro droplets of amorphous silica fuse into a branch and form a chain like agglomerate.

Application

Fumed silica is used to deplete lipids and hormones in Taqman assays of human hepatoma cells HuH-7 and human liver cell line HepG2. Preparation of epoxidized natural rubber/fumed silica composites have been reported. Interaction of Gemini surfactant C12-s-C122Br with aqueous suspension of fumed silica has been studied. Fumed silica based nanocomposites reinforced with organo clay may be prepared. TiO₂/fumed silica porous ceramic material was used to prepare photocatalytic materials.

Caractéristiques et avantages

Has interesting thickening and thixotropic properties, and an enormous external surface area.

Autres remarques

Particle sizes are for primary particles, which form branched, chain-like aggregates a few tenths of a micron long.
