Surface structure of carbon

Both of these effects refer to a high surface activity and specific surface of the filler particles [26, 27, 47]. In view of a deeper understanding of such structure-property relationships of filled rubbers it is useful to consider the morphological and energetic surface structure of carbon black particles as well as the primary and secondary aggregate structure in rubber more closely-... 

In spite of the experimental difficulty of using infrared spectroscopy to study the surface structure of carbon, IR spectroscopic measurements (especially in the form of Fourier transform IR, FTIR) have brought to light important information on the changes in surface chemistry produced by oxidation and substitution reactions. As a result of the systematic FTIR studies of Starsinic et al. (1983), van Driel (1983) and others (see Zawadzky, 1989 Boehm, 1994), considerable progress has been made in the assignment of IR bands.

Without pretreatment, the surfaces of carbon supports are nearly neutral. The surface structure of carbon supports can be altered by various oxidation treatments. Such treatments lead to the formation of the O-containing groups. The summary of methods used for oxidative treatments of carbons was given...
