Abstract
The silica-silica interaction parameter (${\alpha}_F$) of the silane treated silica filled natural rubber (NR) compound was investigated. The measured ${\alpha}_F$ values using mass fraction method following Wolff's theory were compared with volume fraction method. As silica concentration increased, the ${\alpha}_F$ value increased for both methods. The value of ${\alpha}_F$ expressed as volume fraction was higher than that of mass fraction, which resulted in large gaps between ${\alpha}_F$ values. The effect of accelerator (MBT) concentration on ${\alpha}_F$ values was compared.
Keywords
