Surface-modified, pyrogenically prepared silicas

摘要

Surface-modified, pyrogenically prepared silica is prepared by subjecting the pyrogenically prepared silica, which is in the form of aggregates of primary particles and possesses a BET surface area of 150±15 m2/g, the aggregates having an average area of 12 000-20 000 nm2, an average equivalent circle diameter (ECD) of 90-120 nm and an average circumference of 1150-1700 nm, to surface-modification in a known way. It can be used as a filler for thickening liquid systems.
