Growth and Structure of Pyrogenic Silica
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Fractal analysis is used to interpret small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering data on commercial fumed silica powders. Rough primary particles are found in high surface area powders. A model based on ballistic polymerization, sintering, and diffusion-limited aggregation is proposed to explain the observed powder structure.
