Alumina Compositions and Methods for Producing Same

摘要

A method of producing functionalized surface-modified alumina by adding an organic modifier comprising acrylic acid to alumina and drying the alumina to covalently bond the organic modifier to the surface of the alumina. The functionalized surface-modified alumina being uniformly dispersible in organic polymer to form single crystallites of functionalized surface-modified alumina in the polymer.

1. A method for producing a functionalized surface-modified alumina including the steps of:
a. providing an alumina composition; b. adding an organic modifier comprising a monomeric and oligomeric form of acrylic acid composition to the alumina composition to produce a surface-modified alumina composition; and c. drying the surface-modified alumina composition to produce a functionalized, surface-modified alumina composition wherein the organic modifier is covalently bonded to the surface-modified alumina composition.
