1. Improve strength and elongation. Epoxy resin
is a basic resin material. Adding fumed silica to epoxy resin is completely
different from epoxy resin-based composite materials added with
coarse-crystalline silica (white carbon black, etc.) in structure.
Coarse-crystalline SiO2 is generally added as a reinforcing agent, and it is
mainly distributed between the chains of polymer materials. Fumed silica has
strong activity due to its serious surface coordination deficiency, large
specific surface area, and surface oxygen deficiency. It is easy to form bonds
with the oxygen of epoxy ring molecules, thereby increasing the bond strength
between molecules. At the same time, some fumed silica particles are still
distributed in the gaps of polymer chains. Compared with coarse-crystalline
SiO2 particles, they show high rippling properties, thereby greatly improving
the strength, toughness, and ductility of epoxy resin materials added with
fumed silica.
