Abstract

Hydroxyl density of silica surface will reduce and the compatibility of silica with rubber matrix will be improved through the modification of silica by silane coupling agent (SCAs). The silica-silica and silica-rubber interaction of silica filled solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber (SSBR) in-situ modified by silane coupling agent TESPT and Si747 are studied by Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA). The effect of different types and loading amounts of SCAs on the dynamic mechanical properties of silica filled SSBR is investigated. The results show that the novel silane coupling agent Si747 has a more apparent effect on lessening the silica network than that of silane coupling agent TESPT, Hysteresis factor (tanδ) measured by DMA reduces, and the heat-built improves. It could also be found that Si747 modified composites have the lowest apparent activation energy, which is used to characterize the filler-rubber interaction, indicating the lowest temperature dependence.
