A simple method of pretreating carbon black has been developed which permits measurements to be made on the dry carbon black which reflect on the basic property called “structure.” Correlation between these measurements and extrusion shrinkage of raw stocks is demonstrated. With a small surface area adjustment, this correlation is believed to be as reliable as extrusion shrinkage values.
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.
