Surface modification of sericite by wet method was conducted with the addition of 1.0 % (w/w) silane. The resulting wetting contact angle and activity ratio of sericite were 130° and 98% respectively. Good pre-evaluation indexes of oil value (40.8%) and dispersivity (14.0 mL) were obtained. When 30 % of sericite was filled into acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS) plastic,the bending strength and tensile strength of the composite material were reduced by 7% and 14.3% in comparison to those of pure ABS plastic,while the rigidity was increased by 3 times,and the impact strength and breaking elongation were reduced significantly. The mechanism of surface modification was investigated and the configuration of silane coupling agent on the surface of sericite was given. Infrared (IR) spectroscopic analysis indicates that the adsorption of silane on the surface of sericite belongs to chemical adsorption.
