Used as a reinforcing agent in rubber and tire manufacturing to improve strength and wear resistance. Enhances dispersion and stability in coatings, inks, and adhesives. Acts as a carrier for controlled drug delivery in pharmaceuticals due to high loading capacity. Serves as a thickening and anti-settling agent in paints and cosmetics. Applied in catalysis as a support material for catalysts owing to large surface area. Utilized in insulation materials for its excellent thermal insulating properties. Also employed in environmental applications for adsorption of pollutants and contaminants from water and air.
