    Abstract

    Different mixers and mixer adjustments were tested in laboratory for the efficiency of the silanization process. New silanes were developed with the aim to reduce the scorch risk during mixing and silanization. The Payne effect was used to quantify the amount of filler-filler interaction in a rubber compound. It is observed that air injection has a positive effect on the silanization efficiency without influencing the overall properties of the material.
