Abstrakt: The influence of silica fillers with different specific surface areas on the technological and operational properties of protective elastomer compositions has been studied. It has been established that compositions with a more highly dispersed silicic acid filler have a 10% higher Mooney viscosity and a higher dispersing ability in the elastomeric matrix (the complex dynamic modulus characterizing the Payne effect is reduced to 10%) compared to a sample containing a filler with a lower dispersion of equivalent dosage. It was determined that, with equal filling, tread rubber with a filler with greater dispersion is characterized by increased nominal stress at 300% elongation (by 21%), wear resistance, and dry road adherence (mechanical loss tangent values measured at –60 and +20°C, an increase by 21 and 11%, respectively). It was revealed that reducing the dosage of highly dispersed filler leads to the production of vulcanizates with greater elasticity and lower rolling losses while maintaining other car handling parameters.
