Abstract:

Monodisperse hydrophobic spherical CaCO3 particles were prepared by carbonation in the presence of dodecyl dihydrogen phosphate(DDP). The surface property of CaCO3 particles was transformed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic when the mass ratio of DDP to CaCO3 changed from 0 to 2%. X-Ray diffraction(XRD) patterns showed that the crystal form of CaCO3 particles was turned from calcite to aragonite with increasing the dosage of DDP in the reaction. FTIR spectra indicated the existence of the alkyl groups from the DDP in the products. When the mass ratio of DDP to CaCO3 was 2%, the active ratio reached 99% and the contact angle of modified CaCO3 particles was 120.43°. Simultaneously, the effects of the reaction temperature and the dosage of DDP on the morphology and behaviors of aragonite crystals were discussed. When the schematic illustration on the formation process of hydrophobic spherical CaCO3 particles was discussed in the work. When the obtained modified CaCO3 was added into polypropylene(PP), the mechanical properties and processabilities of PP improved greatly.
