✦ Synopsis

Fumed silica is a synthetic amorphous silicon dioxide produced by burning silicon tetrachloride in an oxygen-hydrogen flame. Surface areas range from 50±400 m 2 /g. Using particle sizing techniques, fumed silica shows micron sized particles leading to surface areas markedly lower than expected. Fumed silica appears as a fluffy solid with bulk densities down to 0.03 g/cm 3 , being invariant over the wide range of surface areas. Attempts to relate the variation of the surface area directly to the performance of fumed silica in technical applications, such as its thickening efficiency in fluids, mainly fail and remain ambiguous.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the particle sizes and structures of fumed silica aggregates and agglomerates, using different particle dispersion and sizing techniques.

Fumed silica was surface treated by hexyl (C6), octyl (C8), decyl (C10), hexadecyl (C16), and octadecyl(C18)trimethoxysilanes, and the products were evaluated from various aspects. The amounts of alkyl group introduced on silica surface were all within the range from 22 to 25 mmol/100 g. Such fumed
