Abstract
The effects of surface modification of silicas by plasma-polymerization coating, together with modification using a silane coupling agent for a comparison on the dispersion and physical properties of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) are reported. The chemical compositions of the plasma-polymerization coating were characterized using FTIR and Auger spectrometer and it was found that the plasma coating was composed of C=C and C-H bonds. The surface modification of silica by either plasma polymerization or silane greatly improved the dispersion of silica particles in SBR vulcanizates. The plasma-polymerization modification of silica improved the tensile modulus of SBR vulcanizates without deterioration of important basic properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break.
