The obtaining of elastomers-reinforcers silica powders from SiO2 alkal
i hydrosols was studied. The conditions of obtaining and maturation of
hydrosol were established : temperature, degree of neutralization, Si
O2 concentration, concentration of dispersing agent added to the solut
ion, time of ageing. The powders obtained were characterizated from th
e point of view of oil index, specific surface, porosity and apparent
density.
