RUBBER COMPOSITION FOR TYRE COMPRISING AN ORGANOSILICIUM COUPLING AGENT AND AN INORGANIC FILLER COVERING AGENT

摘要

Tyre and rubber composition for tyre or tyre semi-finished product, based on at least one isoprene elastomer (for example natural rubber), an inorganic filler as reinforcing filler (for example silica) and a coupling system which provides the bonding between the said reinforcing inorganic filler and the isoprene elastomer, the said coupling system comprising, in combination: a monofunctional covering agent (for example a polyorganosiloxane oil) capable of bonding to the surface functional sites of the inorganic filler; and as coupling agent, an at least bifunctional organosilicon compound (for example an organosilane or an organosiloxane) which can be grafted to the elastomer by means of an azodicarbonyl functional group (-CO-N-N-CO-).
