In polymer nanocomposites, particle-polymer interactions play a key role both in the processing and in the final properties of the obtained materials. Specifically, for silica, because of the surface polarity, surface modification is commonly used to improve the compatibility with apolar polymer matrices in order to prevent agglomeration. In this work, a new way to investigate the polymer-silica affinity and determine dispersibility parameters (HDP) of silica particles in the 3D Hansen space using a solvent approach is proposed. These parameters are estimated from the assessment of the stability of suspensions in a set of organic solvents. Based on the respective locations of the solvent, polymer, and silica representative points in the 3D Hansen space, the adsorption of a given polymer in solution in a given solvent can be predicted. This is shown with the industrial precipitated silica Zeosil 1165MP in combination with polystyrene and polybutadiene. It is shown that silanization of the silica particles decreases the adsorption of polystyrene, even though because of this surface treatment, silica comes closer to polystyrene in the Hansen space. This counter-intuitive effect is rationalized based on the consideration of an adsorption parameter χS computed from the relative locations of the solvent, polymer, and particles in the 3D Hansen space. Basically, this parameter is related to the respective distances of the solvent and polymer representative points to that of the particle in the Hansen space.
