    Abstract

    Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the filler-filler interaction and to enhance the compatibility of precipitated silica with hydrocarbon rubbers by modifying the surface of the silica. Bifunctional organo-silanes, such as bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT), are commonly used as coupling agents [7, 8]. The same type of compounds also enhance the rubber-metal bonding of sulphur-cured rubber polymers [9, 10].
