Abstract: A method of producing a rubber compound containing silica, the method including a step of dispersing the silica in a polymer base, and a following step of mixing the previously formed mixture with curing agents. The step of dispersing the silica in the polymer base includes the following sequence of operations: soaking the polymer base in a liquid silica precursor to form a swollen polymer; —adding the swollen polymer to an organic solvent, and continually stirring the swollen polymer solution; —adding water and a silica synthesizing catalyst to the swollen polymer solution; —precipitating a polymer gel matrix by adding a precipitating agent; —separating and washing the precipitated polymer gel matrix.
