Fractal dimensions of silica gels generated using reactive molecular dynamics simulations.
We have used molecular dynamics simulations based on a three-body potential with charge transfer to generate nanoporous silica aerogels. Care was taken to reproduce the sol-gel condensation reaction that forms the gel backbone as realistically as possible and to thereby produce credible gel structures. The self-similarity of aerogel structures was investigated by evaluating their fractal dimens...
متن کاملSilica reinforced triblock copolymer gels
The effect of silica and polymer coated silica particles as reinforcing agents on the structural and mechanical properties of polystyrene–poly(ethylene/butylene)–polystyrene (PS–PEB–PS) triblock gel has been investigated. Different types of chemically modified silica have been compared in order to evaluate the influence of the compatibility between gel and filler. Time-resolved SANS and small-a...
متن کاملStrain Hardening of Fractal Colloidal Gels
We report on experiments on the rheology of gels formed by diffusion-limited aggregation of neutrally buoyant colloidal particles. These gels form very weak solids, with the elastic modulus, G0svd, larger than the loss modulus, G00svd, and with both G0svd and G00svd exhibiting only a very weak frequency dependence. Upon small but finite strains g , 0.45 the elastic modulus increases roughly exp...
متن کاملNovel Processing of Silica Hydrosols and Gels
The extensive research activity on sol-gel processing of silica glass has been reviewed by several authors [l-4]. The typical alkoxide route to silica sols comprises the catalyzed reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and water in a mutual solvent. The TEOS alkoxy groups hydrolyze to form silanol monomers which condense and crosslink to form the silica gel network. The nature of the sol and the ...
متن کاملFractal structure of silica colloids revisited
We present extensive computer simulations of a modified Eden model on a tetragonal lattice. This model is able to reproduce the crossover from mass fractal to surface fractal structures observed experimentally in the clustering process of partially hydrolysed silica particles. One of the most interesting phenomena in random growth is that systems with only shortrange interactions can form aggre...
