SYNTHESIS OF TU-5 GRADE TECHNICAL CARBON AND EVALUATION OF ITS STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES

Technical carbon is one of the most widely used nanostructured materials in industry, and its physicochemical properties depend on particle size, surface area, and degree of crystallinity. Modern scientific research shows that technical carbon can be effectively used in various fields, including the rubber industry, electrical engineering, energy, and adsorption processes. The most important area of application of technical carbon in the rubber industry is the use of technical carbon. According to research, technical carbon serves as a reinforcing component in rubber compositions, increasing mechanical strength by 2–3 times [1]. In particular, technical carbons of the N220 and N330 brands are widely used in the production of automobile tires. The conducted studies have shown that particle dispersion and surface-active groups directly affect the elastic properties of rubber [2].
