Abstract
Modified silica fillers are prepared by a method in which silica surfaces are contacted with compositions containing organosilicon compounds. The organosilicon compounds in the compositions are only of types of structural groups of monomeric dichlorosilanes and trialkoxysilanes. The compositions may be (i) mixtures or blends of alkyl and aryl group containing dichlorosilanes and trialkoxysilanes free of hydrocarbon or organofunctional groups reactive with silica surfaces, (ii) mixtures or blends of substituted alkyl and substituted aryl group containing dichlorosilanes in which the dichlorosilanes are free of hydrocarbon or organofunctional groups reactive with silica surfaces and trialkoxysilanes free of hydrocarbon or organofunctional groups reactive with silica surfaces, or (iii) substituted and unsubstituted alkyl and aryl group containing dichlorosilanes in which the dichlorosilanes are free of hydrocarbon or organofunctional groups reactive with silica surfaces. The mixtures and blends contain the dichlorosilanes and trialkoxysilanes in a weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:2, respectively.
