Fumed Silica Structural Picture

What is Fumed Silica?

The Uses of Fumed Silica

Synthetic Amorphous Silica has interesting thickening and thixotropic properties, and an enormous external surface area. It is produced by a vapor phase hydrolysis process using chlorosilanes or substituted silanes such as, silicon tetrachloride in a flame of hydrogen and oxygen. This material is formed and collected in a dry state. This product contains no detectable crystalline silica.

What are the applications of Application

Silica, fumed is A chemical used in the synthesis of silicalite and in the catalytic growth of oxide and nitride nanowires.2
