Silane rubber reinforcement systems: EvonikLast 5 Years Research Landscape

Silica-filled rubber compounds require precise silane coupling to reduce rolling resistance and improve filler dispersion in high-performance tires.

What technical problems is Evonik addressing in Silane rubber reinforcement systems?

Devulcanized rubber tensile degradation

(18)evidences

Vulcanized rubber waste exhibits poor mechanical reintegration due to insufficient chemical reactivity during the devulcanization process.

Silane mixture processing viscosity

(45)evidences

Inconsistent silane coupling kinetics lead to premature scorch or high viscosity in silica-filled rubber compounds.

Tire rolling resistance trade-offs

(11)evidences

Optimizing fuel efficiency often compromises wet grip or handling performance in sulfur-crosslinked silica tire treads.
