Popis: SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized from different three precursors, namely, TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate), sodium metasilicate and sodium silicate. First, SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a controlled hydrolysis of TEOS. In another method, SiO2nanoparticles were prepared by precipitation in an emulsion medium from sodium metasilicate and hydrochloric acid solution. Finally, SiO2 nanoparticles were also synthesized from sodium silicate by an emulsion method. In this study, we concentrated on dispersion and compatibility between nanosized SiO2 particles and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). Therefore, surface modification of synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles was accomplished with MPS (3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane) to enhance homogeneous dispersion and compatibility between the obtained SiO2 nanoparticles and EVA. Finally, nanocomposites of surface treated SiO2 nanoparticles and EVA were prepared. By inserting the MPS-coated SiO2 nanoparticles into EVA, abrasion resistance and hardness were increased rem...
