H. Ismail et al., THE EFFECT OF CARBON-BLACK PARTICLE-SIZE ON MULTIFUNCTIONAL ADDITIVE-CARBON BLACK INTERACTION, European Polymer Journal, 31(11), 1995, pp. 1049-1056
The effects of carbon black particle size on multifunctional additive
(MFA)-carbon black interaction have been studied. A monolayer coverage
of the carbon black is found to correspond to the MFA level for optim
um mechanical properties. This optimum MFA level was found to vary wit
h the surface area of the carbon black used. A mechanism of adsorption
has also been proposed to explain the mode of action of MFA at the ru
bber-filler interface.
