Technical carbon

The above brief analysis underlines that the porous structure of the carbon substrate and the presence of an ionomer impose limitations on the application of porous and thin-layer RDEs to studies of the size effect. Unless measurements are carried out at very low currents, corrections for mass transport and ohmic limitations within the CL [Gloaguen et ah, 1998 Antoine et ah, 1998] must be performed, otherwise evaluation of kinetic parameters may be erroneous. This is relevant for the ORR, and even more so for the much faster HOR, especially if the measurements are performed at high overpotentials and with relatively thick CLs. Impurities, which are often present in technical carbons, must also be considered, given the high purity requirements in electrocatalytic measurements in aqueous electrolytes at room temperature and for samples with small surface area. 

Technical carbon tetrachloride is used. Dichloromethane is preferred only when the cyclobutanone is too volatile. 

An elastomer filled with Aerosil, technical carbon (lamp or acetylene black), iron and titanium oxides and other ingredients including a vulcan-iser is raw rubber used to manufacture various products. The elasticity and resilience of silicone rubbers depend on the number of siloxane links in the chain and on the number of cross links. The higher the molecular weight of the elastomer and its elasticity the more the quantity of cross links (to a certain extent), the greater its mechanical strength. 

It is found that the abrasion value is minimal at a side of the gradient sample contained from PU only or its content is greater in relation to the PIC component, and obtains the values typical of standard rubbers [3], As PIC concentration in the rigid part increases, the abrasion value also increases to significant values (6-7-10 3 cm3/m). It is found that the abrasion value also is affected the technical carbon trademark. As the trademark P803 is used, the abrasion index is insignificantly lower compared with K354 trademark use.

With a deficiency of water vapor, some carbon from the coal remains in the products in the form of the technical carbon with relatively high specific surface area of 350 00 m /g. Such by-products are of interest for the production of different rabber-based materials (Kolobova, 1983). 

The industrially made butadiene—styrene mbber of mark SKS-30, which contains 7.0-12.3 per cent cis and 71.8-72.0 per cent trans-bonds, with density of 920-930 kg/m was used as matrix polymer. This mbber is fully amorphous one. Fullerene-containing mineral shungite of Zazhoginsk s deposit consists of 30 per cent globular amorphous metastable carbon and 70 per cent high-disperse silicate particles. Besides, industrially made technical carbon of mark no 220 was used as nanofiller.

The experimentally obtained nanoparticle aggregate diameter 2R was accepted as 2/ (Table 6.1) and the value was also calculated according to the experimental values of nanoparticle radius (Table 6.1). In Table 6.1, the values N for the studied nanofillers, obtained according to the indicated method, were adduced. It is significant that the value N is maximum for nanoshungite despite larger values in comparison with technical carbon. 

These values R are adduced in Table 6.1, from which their reduction in a sequence of technical carbon—nanoshungite—microshungite, that fully contradicts to the experimental data, i.e., to R change (Table 6.1). However, we must not neglect the fact that Eq. (6.14) was obtained within the frameworks of computer simulation, where the initial aggregating particle sizes are the same in all cases [31]. For real nanocomposites the values can be distinguished essentially (Table 6.1). It is expected that...

In Figure 6.12, the dependence of EJE on d - d is adduced, corresponding to Eq. (6.37), for nanocomposites with different elastomeric matrices (natural and butadiene—styrene mbbers, NR, and BSR) and different nanofillers (technical carbon of different marks, nano- and microshungite). Despite the indicated distinctions in composition, all adduced data are described well by Eq. (6.37). 

The equation (9) supposes (at /=const) % increase in a number technical carbon-nanoshungite-microshungite as 196-1069-3434 relative units, i.e. diffusion intensification at diffusible particles size growth. At the same time diffusivity D for these particles can be described by the well-known Einstein s relationship [11] ...
