Abstract
Abstract
The dispersion of carbon black agglomerates in poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) has been studied experimentally. Both the structure of carbon black aggregates comprising the agglomerate and the presence of the matrix within the agglomerate were found to affect the mode of dispersion, critical stress conditions, and the kinetics of the dispersion process. Agglomerates of high structure carbon black are generally more difficult to disperse than agglomerates of low structure carbon black at the same agglomerate density. Depending on the degree of saturation of the agglomerate by PDMS, the dispersion process may be either enhanced or retarded compared to the dry state.
