Abstract. Truck tire particles were pyrolysed at 490 °C at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum, respectively. The recovered pyrolytic carbon black (CBP) was heated in a post-pyrolysis process at temperatures ranging from 670 to 860 °C. The CBP were studied in comparison to a commercial tire carbon black by low-pressure nitrogen adsorption and surface spectroscopic methods (ESCA and SIM…
Abstract. Conductive carbon blacks from different manufacturers were studied in order to obtain some insight into the relation between their electrical conductivity and their surface properties. The surface chemistry was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), whereas the topology of the carbon black surface was investigated using lo…
