The nano material has unique mechanical, optical, thermal, electric, magnetic, adsorption, gas-sensitive and other properties, and the addition of nano powder into the traditional material greatly improves the performance. However, in the practical application process, the nano particles have small particle size and high surface activity, so that the nano particles are easy to agglomerate to form agglomerates with larger size, and the application of nano powder and the preparation of corresponding nano materials are seriously hindered.
The current research on the agglomeration behavior of nano powder is mainly focused on how to alleviate the behavior, and the research on the generation mechanism of the behavior is less. Since one often ignores the fractal aggregation or agglomeration morphology of the nano-powder material, few studies have studied their own aggregation structure from the particles themselves. Therefore, how to explore the geometrical shape of the nano powder material aggregate in the preparation process, analyze the aggregation effect from the microstructure, explore the fractal geometrical factors influencing the aggregate, and is a crucial step for solving the aggregation problem of the nano powder material. The present characterization of the agglomeration behavior (or dispersibility) of the nano powder material is mainly in a qualitative level, mainly described by subjective feeling, and the agglomeration degree of the nano powder is usually determined to be serious or good only by observation. How to quantitatively characterize the agglomeration behavior degree is still relatively blank, and the comparison analysis of different nano powder cannot be performed without a unified quantitative standard.

It is noted herein that the following examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, certain essential modifications and adaptations of the invention. The experimental methods, in which specific conditions are not noted in the following examples, were selected according to conventional methods and conditions, or according to the commercial specifications.
Example 1
Quantitatively characterizing the dispersibility of the silica spherical nano powder:
s1, weighing 1mg of AEROSIL 380 silica spherical nano powder (particle size is 7 nm) of German winning brand, weighing 1mL of absolute ethyl alcohol, placing into a 3mL centrifuge tube, performing ultrasonic dispersion for 10min, taking a small amount of dispersion liquid by a liquid-transferring gun, dripping 1-2 drops on a copper net, and performing irradiation drying for 15min by an ultraviolet lamp to obtain a silica spherical nano powder sample.
S2, under a transmission electron microscope, after overall observation and analysis are carried out on the appearance of the whole sample, two areas A and B are selected for shooting, so that an electron microscope image (shown in figure 1) is obtained, the magnification is 100000 times, and the scale is 50nm; then, the shot image is processed to obtain an electron microscope picture which meets the following requirements: contrast 100%, brightness 5%, definition 5%, saturation 100%; the format is TIFF.
S3, calculating the fractal dimension of the electron microscope picture by adopting a box algorithm:
(1) The electron microscope picture is imported into software, and the box size r is input i Range r of (2) min ≤r i ≤r max Wherein r is min Diameter r of individual particles of spherical nano-powder max The size of the largest aggregate in the electron microscope picture;
(2) Counting each box size r in the box size range by adopting an iterative method i The number of pixel points N contained in each i
(3) By logr i On the abscissa, log N i The empirical curve is obtained by fitting with the ordinate, and the fitting formula is logN i =Dlogr i The slope D of the empirical curve is the fractal dimension.
Comparing the fractal dimension with the aggregation degree of the spherical nano powder in the electron microscope picture, and obtaining the relationship between the fractal dimension and the aggregation condition of the spherical nano powder through analysis to realize the quantitative characterization of the dispersibility of the spherical nano powder.
Calculated as described above, the fractal dimension corresponding to a-1 and a-2 in fig. 1 is 1.52, the fractal dimension corresponding to B-1 and B-2 in fig. 1 is 1.64, and the fractal dimension corresponding to region a is lower than the fractal dimension corresponding to region B. As can be seen from fig. 1, the silica dispersion degree in the region a is higher than that in the region B. That means that the higher the fractal dimension, the more severe the agglomeration thereof, and the worse the dispersibility.
Example 2
Quantitatively characterizing the dispersibility of the titanium dioxide spherical nano powder:
s1, weighing 1mg of titanium dioxide spherical nano powder (with the particle size of 25 nm), weighing 1mL of absolute ethyl alcohol, placing into a 3mL centrifuge tube, performing ultrasonic dispersion for 10min, taking a small amount of dispersion by a liquid-transferring gun, dripping 1-2 drops of dispersion liquid onto a copper mesh, and performing irradiation drying for 15min by an ultraviolet lamp to obtain a titanium dioxide spherical nano powder sample.
S2, under a transmission electron microscope, after overall observation and analysis are carried out on the appearance of the whole sample, two areas A and B are selected for shooting, so that an electron microscope image (shown in FIG. 2) is obtained, the magnification is 100000 times, and the scale is 50nm; then, the shot image is processed to obtain an electron microscope picture which meets the following requirements: contrast 100%, brightness 5%, definition 5%, saturation 100%; the format is TIFF.
S3, calculating the fractal dimension of the electron microscope picture by adopting a box algorithm:
(1) The electron microscope picture is imported into software, and the box size r is input i Range r of (2) min ≤r i ≤r max Wherein r is min Diameter r of individual particles of spherical nano-powder max The size of the largest aggregate in the electron microscope picture;
(2) Counting each box size r in the box size range by adopting an iterative method i The number of pixel points N contained in each i
(3) By logr i On the abscissa, log N i The empirical curve is obtained by fitting with the ordinate, and the fitting formula is logN i =Dlogr i The slope D of the empirical curve is the fractal dimension.
Comparing the fractal dimension with the aggregation degree of the spherical nano powder in the electron microscope picture, and obtaining the relationship between the fractal dimension and the aggregation condition of the spherical nano powder through analysis to realize the quantitative characterization of the dispersibility of the spherical nano powder.
Calculated according to the above method, the fractal dimension corresponding to the A-1 and the A-2 in FIG. 2 is 1.56, the fractal dimension corresponding to the B-1 and the B-2 in FIG. 2 is 1.45, and the fractal dimension of the area A is higher than that of the area B. As can be seen from fig. 2, the degree of dispersion of titanium dioxide in zone a is less than that in zone B. Again, the fractal dimension was shown to be inversely related to the degree of dispersion of the spherical nano-powder material and positively related to its degree of aggregation. This is consistent with the regularity of the spherical silica nanopowder in example 1, the lower the fractal dimension, the better the silica dispersibility, the negative correlation between the fractal dimension and the silica dispersibility.

(2) mixing raw rubber (100 parts), hydroxyl silicone oil (1.5 parts) and silicon dioxide spherical nano powder (30 parts) uniformly on a double-roller mill according to different formula proportions, wherein the temperature of a roller cannot exceed 50 ℃, cutting for several times in the mixing process, and performing operations such as triangular packaging and the like to accelerate the uniform dispersion of filler in sizing materials; mixing for 2-10 min for each additive is added, wherein the mixing time mainly depends on the amounts of sizing material and filler; finally, thinning out the sheet, and carrying out heat treatment on the mixed rubber in a baking oven at 170 ℃ for 2 hours;
(3) the vulcanizing agent is added in a back refining way, namely double-double (1.0 percent) is calculated according to the raw rubber amount, and the sheet is formed; after the rubber is mixed, the next day of plate vulcanization, compression molding and forming are carried out, the vulcanization temperature is set to 175 ℃, the time is set to 5min, and the pressure is generally selected from 3-10 MPa (the pressure is related to the plasticity of the silicon rubber, the mold structure and the thickness of vulcanized rubber); and after demoulding, placing the vulcanized rubber sheet on a flat table top, cooling to room temperature, and standing for more than 12 hours to obtain the silicon rubber composite material.
(2) The silicon rubber composite material is subjected to low-temperature frozen slicing treatment to prepare ultrathin slices, and specifically: firstly, cutting a silicon rubber composite material into blocks with the length of 1cm, the width of 0.5cm and the height of 0.3cm, roughly repairing the blocks at room temperature, and then placing the blocks into a frozen ultrathin slicing machine with the temperature set in advance for block repairing and slicing; and (3) taking out the cut slice on a knife edge, and then fishing out the slice by using forceps through a copper mesh dipped with ethanol, or fishing out the slice by using a sample fishing ring dipped with sucrose with saturated concentration, and leaning against the copper mesh, thus obtaining the silicon rubber sample containing the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder.
S2, under a transmission electron microscope, after overall observation and analysis are carried out on the appearance of the whole sample, an area of which the aggregate form can most reflect the appearance characteristics of the sample is selected for shooting, the magnification is 100000 times, and the scale is 500nm; then, the shot image is processed to enable the electron microscope picture to be in a TIFF format, and the following requirements are met: contrast 100%, brightness-5%, definition-5%, saturation 100%.
S3, calculating the fractal dimension of the electron microscope picture by adopting a box algorithm:
(1) The electron microscope picture is imported into software, and the box size r is input i Range r of (2) min ≤r i ≤r max Wherein r is min Diameter r of individual particles of spherical nano-powder max The size of the largest aggregate in the electron microscope picture;
(2) Counting each box size r in the box size range by adopting an iterative method i The number of pixel points N contained in each i
(3) By logr i On the abscissa, log N i The ordinate is fitted to obtain an empirical curve, and the fitting formula is thatlogN i =Dlogr i The slope D of the empirical curve is the fractal dimension.
Comparing the fractal dimension with the aggregation degree of the spherical nano powder in the electron microscope picture, and obtaining the relationship between the fractal dimension and the aggregation condition of the spherical nano powder through analysis to realize the quantitative characterization of the dispersibility of the spherical nano powder.
Fig. 3 is a transmission electron microscope image of an ultrathin section of a silicon rubber composite material with mass fractions of 5%,10%,15% and 20% of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder respectively. Wherein, fig. 3A, 3B, and 3C are 5% of the silica spherical nano powder by mass, fig. 3D, 3E, and 3F are 10% of the silica spherical nano powder by mass, fig. 3G, 3H, and 3I are 15% of the silica spherical nano powder by mass, and fig. 3J, 3K, and 3L are 20% of the silica spherical nano powder by mass.
According to the calculation method, in the range that the mass fraction of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder is lower than 20%, the mass fraction of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder is 5%,10%,15% and the average value of the fractal dimension values of the 20% silicon rubber composite material is 1.34, 1.45, 1.66 and 1.67 respectively, and the fractal dimension of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder is increased along with the increase of the mass fraction of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder, as shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 3, as the mass fraction of the silica spherical nano powder increases, the degree of agglomeration of the silica spherical nano powder in the silicone rubber increases. Therefore, in the silicon rubber composite material, the agglomeration degree of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder is positively correlated with the fractal dimension, and the dispersion degree of the silicon dioxide spherical nano powder is negatively correlated with the fractal dimension.
From the above evidence, it is shown that the fractal dimension of spherical nano-powder is positively correlated with the degree of agglomeration and negatively correlated with the degree of dispersion. Therefore, the fractal dimension can be used as a quantitative index to characterize the dispersibility of the spherical nano powder, so that the problem that the dispersibility and the agglomeration degree of the spherical nano powder cannot be described by one number in the prior art is solved.
