A new way is introduced to express the interaction coefficient characterizing the surface activity of fillers. The interaction coefficient is a parameter showing how many times greater a specific interaction of a testing solute with a filler surface is than a nonspecific interaction of a hypothetical alkane with the same vapor pressure. A selection of testing solutes for the determination of the interaction coefficient is discussed. Due to a high surface activity of the studied fillers for polyolefine composites, less polar solutes (furan, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, and benzene) have been selected to study these fillers. New evaluation coefficients of acidity, basicity, and acidobasicity are proposed for a rapid activity determination of a filler surface. These coefficients can be determined from a single chromatogram of the testing solutes. The surface activity of various fillers (calcium carbonate, talc, magnesium hydroxide), a s expressed by the interaction coefficient, differs so much that even the differences of surface activities in one filler type (calcium carbonate), dependent on the origin or arrangement, are conclusive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
