Abstract
The invention concerns a method for preparing a silica suspension in a silicone matrix, said suspension capable of being used for producing organopolysiloxanes crosslinkable by polycondensation. The invention aims at seeking a technical compromise between the rheology of said compositions and the mechanical properties of the resulting crosslinked elastomers. As a solution, the invention discloses a method for preparing a silica suspension treated with organosilazane in a silicone material comprising a linear reactive polyorganosiloxane bearing for example at each chain end a hydroxy group. The invention is characterized in that it consists essentially in introducing the organosilozane in the preparation medium: before and/or substantially simultaneously before bringing together at least part of the silicone material and the particulate filler used, said organosilozane introduction being carried out with a fraction of organosilazane corresponding to a proportion ranging between 8% and 30% by dry weight relatively to the silica filler, and after bringing together the filler and all or part of the silicone material.
