Abstract:It was suggested that carbon blacks owe some of their characteristic properties to a tendency for individual particles to cluster into chainlike groupings or secondary aggregates. Results of mechanical processing experiments show that application of mechanical work altered or destroyed secondary aggregates. This conclusion was made since resistance to compression had been permanently overcome. Analytical measurements confirmed the supposition that secondary aggregates had been altered or destroyed, since oil a… Show more
