Abstract
Ethylamine is found to be an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the in-situ filling of a polymer network. The silica filler thus precipitated strongly reinforces the elastomer, increasing its modulus, ultimate strength, and rupture energy. Increase in ethylamine concentration increases the rate of filler precipitation, and also increases the ultimate properties at constant weight % filler.
