Abstract
Silica fume was modified by a silane coupling agent (KH-550). The modified silica fume was further investigated to reinforce polyurethane (PU) composites. Unmodified and modified silica fume reinforced PU composites were prepared. Through the comparisons of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of unmodified and modified silica fume, the agglomerations of silica fume particles were effectively prevented as KH-550 was grafted. The compressive strength of the modified silica fume/PU composites was largely improved, because KH-550 could react with both silica fume and PU. Meanwhile, modified silica fume turned from hydrophilic to hydrophobic; a better dispersion was realized in the PU elastomers compared to the unmodified silica fume. The reinforcement effects were evaluated based on the results of a universal test machine in comparison with unmodified silica fume/PU composites.
