  • Publication number: 20150184054
    Abstract: A rubber composition based on at least one diene elastomer, a filler that contains carbon black and an inorganic filler, and a crosslinking system, wherein the inorganic filler content is greater than or equal to 5 parts by weight per hundred parts by weight of elastomer, phr, and represents at most 50% as a weight fraction of the whole of the total filler of the composition, and wherein the carbon black includes at least one acetylene-derived carbon black, with a content of greater than 3 phr, the amount of acetylene-derived carbon black representing more than 50% of the carbon black present in the composition as a weight fraction, and wherein the composition contains a plasticizing oil or a plasticizing resin with a total content of plasticizing oil and plasticizing resin of less than 30 phr.

  • Publication number: 20150011678
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing a masterbatch in the liquid phase based on one or more diene elastomer latexes and on one or more fillers which coagulate spontaneously with said latex, comprising the following successive steps: preparing a stable and homogeneous aqueous dispersion (C) containing one or more surfactants, by mixing one or more diene elastomer latexes (A) with one or more aqueous dispersions (B) of one or more fillers which coagulate spontaneously, homogenizing the aqueous dispersion (C), reducing the chemical potential of the surfactant in the aqueous dispersion (C) until coagulation of said diene elastomer latex(es) with the filler(s), recovering the coagulum, drying the recovered coagulum in order to obtain the masterbatch.
