Precipitated amorphous silica has been gamma radiolyzed at 333, 666 and 1000 kGy in air. The structural changes undergone during irradiation have been studied by Si-29 CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. The spectra suggest that silica looses the hydrogen atoms attached to the silanol groups and the resulting silanol radicals undergo a crosslinking reaction by forming peroxysiloxane groups or by reacting with E' centres yielding siloxane groups.

Abstract

Precipitated amorphous silica has been gamma radiolyzed at 333, 666 and 1000 kGy in air. The structural changes undergone during irradiation have been studied by Si-29 CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. The spectra suggest that silica looses the hydrogen atoms attached to the silanol groups and the resulting silanol radicals undergo a crosslinking reaction by forming peroxysiloxane groups or by reacting with E' centres yielding siloxane groups.
