Abstract
The surface properties of aluminosilicates (perlites and zeolites)—potential fillers in abrasive articles—have been examined by inverse gas chromatography. The dispersive component of the surface free energy (\( \gamma_{\text{S}}^{\text{D}} \)) and K A and K D describing the acidity and basicity, respectively, of the fillers were used to express the surface activity of examined materials. The Flory–Huggins parameter, \( \chi_{23}^{'} , \) characterized the interactions between polymer and filler, i.e., interactions between phenolic resin and filler. Zeolites were found to be materials with an active surface layer and relatively high ability to participate in filler–resin interactions. Therefore, they might be considered as potential “replacement material” for standard fillers. The IGC-derived values mentioned above provided useful information about the behavior of fillers during the manufacture and use of abrasive articles.
