Abstract

Carbon coated silica made by flame synthesis was investigated for reinforcement of styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubber. These composite silica/carbon fillers were examined through small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), TEM, and AFM showing that these fillers have a rough fractal surface and have fractal aggregate structures. The carbon coated silica fillers were compounded with elastomers and their effect on reinforcement was measured using dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile testing. These fillers were also compared to commercial fumed silica, carbon black, and carbon black/silica composite fillers.
