Novel Surface Modified Silica and Clay written by Dr. Sudip Ray discusses the general aspects of fillers, the need for modifying the filler surface and its influence on polymer composites. It deals with surface modification of precipitated silica and kaolin clay by coating the fillers with an acrylate monomer, or a silane coupling agent, followed by electron-beam irradiation. Hybrid clay fillers were also developed by organic modification. The book explores characterization of the modified fillers by several analytical techniques. Additionally, the effect of filler surface...
