Abstract

The surface modification of tourmaline powder with methacrylic anhydride was studied in this work, and the reaction process conditions were optimized according to the experimental parameters of contact angle and turbidity in liquid paraffin. The structure of the modified tourmaline was characterized by means of IR, XRD and SEM. The structural analysis indicated that methacrylic group was attached onto the surface of tourmaline by the reaction of tourmaline with methacrylic anhydride to get a polymerizable tourmaline methacrylate. The experimental results indicated that modified tourmaline presented enhanced hydrophobicity than the unmodified tourmaline. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2015.422]
