SILICON DIOXIDE AS A REINFORCING FILLER OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS
The usage of the silica, obtained in different ways, in the most important polymer systems, has been considered. Wide use of silica as a reinforcing filler in the blends of elastomers in the manufacture of automobile tires is shown. The outlook of studies of the effect of silica on various polymer materials and the properties of the polymer silica contained nanocomposites has been defined.
