Description
本明細書中、粉末の理論比表面積とは、上記式(1)において、Dを粉末の平均粒径D50、ρを真密度2.20g/cm3と仮定した理論真密度から算出した値である。即ち、粉末の理論比表面積は、次の式(2)から算出される。
BET比表面積を平均粒径D50から算出した理論比表面積で割った値が1.93を越えると、比表面積が大きくなり、不可避のガス吸着量が大きくなる。このうち、上記値は、1.70以下が好ましく、1.00~1.50の範囲が特に好ましい。
式(3)中、Sは撮影した粒子投影図の面積、Lは粒子投影図の周囲長を表す。本明細書中、粉末の円形度とは、上記式(3)から算出された粉末粒子200個の平均値である。粉末の円形度が0.50未満では、気泡の発生又は膨張の低減効果が小さい。このうち、粉末の円形度は、0.80~1.00の範囲が好ましい。また、合成非晶質シリカ粉末の球状化率は0.20以上である。粉末の球状化率とは、所定量の粉末中に円形度が0.60~1.00である粒子が含まれる割合を示す。球状化率が0.20未満では、気泡の発生又は膨張の低減効果が小さい。このうち、粉末の球状化率は、0.80~1.00の範囲であることが好ましい。
また、合成非晶質シリカ粉末の平均粒径D50は、50~1000μmの範囲内であることが好ましい。下限値未満では、粉末粒子間の空間が小さく、この空間に存在している気体が抜けにくいため、小さな気泡が残りやすく、一方、上限値を越えると、粉末粒子間の空間が大きすぎて、大きな気泡が残りやすいためである。このうち、平均粒径D50は、80~600μmの範囲内であることが特に好ましい。なお、本明細書中、平均粒径D50とは、レーザー回折散乱式粒子分布測定装置(型式名:HORIBA LA-950)によって測定した粒子分布(直径)の中央値を3回測定し、この平均値をいう。合成非晶質シリカ粉末のかさ密度は、1.00g/cm3以上であることが好ましい。下限値未満では、粉末粒子間の空間が大きすぎて、大きな気泡が残りやすく、一方、上限値を越えると、粉末粒子間の空間が小さいために、この空間に存在している気体が抜けにくく、小さな気泡が残りやすいからである。このうち、かさ密度は、1.20~1.40g/cm3範囲内であることが特に好ましい。
