A study of the combined use of carbon black and silicon dioxide in tyre tread formulations. Part 2. Static and dynamic properties of vulcanisates

摘要

In communication 1 [1] we showed the influence of the content of carbon black and silicon dioxide on the processing and vulcanisation properties of a tread rubber mix. To explain the sharp change in a number of properties as a function of the carbon black/silicon dioxide ratio, an assumption was made concerning the considerable rearrangement of the physical structure of the rubber mix.
