Various nanostructured amorphous silicas [fumed silicas such as crude (A-300), hydro-compacted (cA-300, TS 100), and precipitated silica Syloid 244] were modified by different polydimethylsiloxanes such as PDMS5, PDMS100, PDMS200, PDMS1000, and PDMS12500 (the label numbers show the viscosity (η) values) using dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a siloxane-bond-breaking reagent. In addition, hexamethyldisilazane was used to modify fumed silica cA-300. The nanocomposites were characterized using microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermodesorption, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and zeta-potential methods.

It is well-known that interaction of hydrophobic powders with water is weak, and upon mixing, they typically form separated phases. Preparation of hydrophobic nanosilica AM1 with a relatively large content of bound water with no formation of separated phases was the aim of this study. Unmodified nanosilica A-300 and initial AM1 (A-300 completely hydrophobized by dimethyldichlorosilane), compacted A-300 (cA-300), and compacted AM1 (cAM1) containing 50-58 wt % of bound water were studied using low-temperature H NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, infrared spectroscopy, microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption, and theoretical modeling.
