Disclosed herein are methods of preparing composites from solid elastomer(s) and wet filler(s), as well as products, including composites, vulcanizates, and articles therefrom. The wet filler can have a liquid content of at least 15%. A resulting composite comprises the filler dispersed in the elastomer at a loading of at least 20 phr with a filler yield loss of no more than 10%, wherein the composite has a liquid content of no more than 10% by weight based on total weight of said composite.

Methods of preparing a composite having elastomer and filler

A tire tread and a tire are provided, more particularly, a tire having a tread or other elastomeric component within enhanced composite material properties, including, but not limited to, modulus ratio, percent elongation at break, and/or tan delta, wherein the tire, tread or other elastomeric component comprise composites characterized by well dispersed reinforcing filler, which can be indicated by macrodispersion.

Tire tread

Metal oxide-polymer composite particles have a median particle size D50 of 40-75 nm or 100-150 nm and an average RTA of at least 0.06. Alternatively or in addition, metal oxide-polymer composites comprise two or more populations of metal oxide particles differing in size, particle size distribution, or shape. Alternatively or in addition, the use of a multicomponent hydrophobizing system including an alkylsilane to fabricate metal oxide-polymer composite particles increases the tribocharge of the composite particles.
