Abstract
The surface-modified fillers according to the invention are manufactured by treating oxidic or siliceous fillers with a silane of the formula R1R2R3 Si - X1 - (- Sx - Y - )m - (- Sx - X2 - SiR1R2R3)n and are used for the manufacture of rubber vulcanizates, particularly tyres, with reduced dynamic damping and favourable abrasion behaviour.
Description
Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries / Bg/m/S-P 2 1 7 q 8 6 6 , Surface-modified. oxidic or siliceous fillers and their use The present invention relates to new surface-modified, oxidic or siliceous fillers 5 and their use for the manufacture of rubber compounds and vulc~ni~tes. The rubber compounds obtained with these modified fillers are suitable for the manu-facture of highly reinforced, abrasion-resistant moulded bodies, particularly for the manufacture of tyres that have a low resistance to rolling and a high resistance to abrasion.
10 The treatment of filler surfaces with organosilicon compounds for the improve-ment of the filler/matrix coupling in thermoplastic and duroplastic composites as well as filled rubber systems is known. Particularly suitable for the manufacture of highly reinforced and abrasion-resistant rubber articles is the treatment, described in US-PS 4 514 231 and 4 704 414, of fillers with compounds of the structure:
15 (Rnl(RO)3nSi-(Alk)m-Ar)p)2(S)x, especially bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulphide.
Under the treatment conditions quoted there the organosilicon compound reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the filler surface.
The fillers of US-PS 4 514 231 and 4 704 414 are certainly already considerably more active than the unmodified ones, but it was the aim of the present invention 20 to increase the reinforcing effect of the oxidic and siliceous fillers still further, in order on the one hand to improve the technical properties of the rubber articlesand on the other to reduce the raw material costs for the manufacture of like grades. Owing to their low damping effect and the high abrasion resistance, the novel surface-modified oxidic or siliceous fillers are especially suitable for the 25 manufacture of motor vehicle tyres with low resistance to rolling and high mileage.
The present invention therefore provides surface-treated oxidic or siliceous fillers obtainable by reaction of an oxidic or siliceous filler with a silane of formula (I) RlR2R3 Si - Xl - ( - Sx - Y - )m - (- Sx - X2 - SiRlR2R3)n (I), 30 wherein R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and represent C1-CI8 alkyl or Cl-C18 alkoxy, which can optionally be interrupted by oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 _ -- 2 atoms, C6-CI2 aryl or aryloxy or C7-CI8 alkylaryl or alkylaryloxy, provided that at least one of the groups Rl to R3 is an alkoxy, aryloxy or alkylaryloxy group;
Xl and x2 are the same or different and stand for linear, branched or cyclic, optionally unsaturated, Cl-CI2 alkylene groups, Y stands for linear, branched or cyclic, optionally unsaturated Cl-C18 alkylene groups, that are optionally substituted with C6-CI2 aryl, Cl-C8 alkoxy or hydroxy groups and may optionally be interrupted by oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen atoms or aromatic C6-CI2 groups, as well as for C6-CI2 arylene groups or heteroarylene groups, m stands for a whole number from 1 to 20, n stands for a whole number from 1 to 6 and x represents a number from 1 to 8, at temperatures of 50 to 220C, optionally in vacuum, wherein 0.1 to 25 wt.%, relative to oxidic or siliceous filler, of silanes of formula (I) are used.
Particularly preferred silanes according to the invention are e.g. those of formula (I) wherein Xl and x2 represent methylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene or hexylene groups and Y represents methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, hexylene, cyclohexylene, octylene, decylene, dodecylene, 2,2'-oxydiethylene, methylenebis(2,2'-oxyethylene), ethylenebis(2,2'-oxyethylene), 1,1'-thiodiethylene, N-methyl-N',N"-diethylene or a,a-p-xylidene groups or higher-valent groups such as 1,2,3-propylidene, N,N',N"-triethylene or 1,3,5-s-triazinyl, and in which n represents whole numbers from 1 to 6, x numbers from 2 to 6 and m whole numbers from 1 to 10. The silanes according to the invention can exist both as asingle compound with a defined molecular weight and as an oligomer mixture with a molecular weight distribution. For reasons of process technology it is inmany cases simpler to manufacture and use an oligomeric or polymeric mixture.
The compounds have a molecular weight between about 500 and 8000.
The silanes (I) according to the invention can be manufactured in various ways:
Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 A: By reaction of mercapto-group-cont~ining silanes and di- and/or polymeric mercap~ s with sulphur dichloride or disulphur dichloride with splitting off of HCl. The reaction can be carried out in a manner known as such at temperatures of -30 to +80C, optionally in solvents such as alcohols or aromatic hydrocarbons:
RIR2R3Si-X-SH + HS-Y-SH + Sx-Cl2 ~
R R R Si~X~Sx+2(Y~Sx+2)m~X~SiR R R + HCl (For the carrying-out of the reaction see e.g. Houben Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, volume 9, pages 88 ff. (1955) and volume E 11 (1985), Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart).
B: The preparation of compounds (I) is possible particularly favourably if haloalkyl silyl ethers and polyhalides are reacted with metal polysulphides in the presence of alcoholic solvents at temperatures of -20 to +120C:
RIR2R3Si-X-Hal + Hal-Y-Hal + Na2Sx ~
RIR2R3Si-X-Sx(X-Sx)m-X-SiRlR2R3 + NaHal Preferably used as metal polysulphides are those of the formula Me2Sx, in which Me stands for lithium, sodium or potassium and x represents a number between 2 and 6.
Alcohols preferably are used as solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-20 propanol, i-butanol, amyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, n-octanol, i-octanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol as well asmixtures of these alcohols with aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, cyclohexane, hexane, octane, or open-chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane and their mixtures 25 with alcohols Particularly preferred silanes correspond to the formulae (RO)3S j ~~ S ~ --n Si(OR)3 II

Oxidic and siliceous fillers means all known natural or synthetic inorganic fillers which, because of a content of hydroxyl groups and/or water of hydration, can react superficially with the silanes (I). These are for example precipitated or pyrogenic silica, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium silicate, calcium silicate, cal-cium sulphate, china clay and/or calcined clay.
Particularly preferred are:
- Highly-dispersed silicas, manufactured e.g. by precipitation of solutions of silicates or flame hydrolysis of silicon halides, with specific surface areas of 5 to 1000, preferably 20 to 400, m2/g (BET surface area) and with primary particle sizes of 10 to 400 nm. The silicas can also optionally be present as mixed oxides with other metal oxides, such as Al, Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn and Ti oxides.
- Synthetic silicates, such as aluminium silicate, alkaline earth metal silicates such as magnesium silicate or calcium silicate, with BET surface areas of 20 to 400 m2/g and primary particle diameters of 10 to 400 nm.
- Natural silicates, such as kaolin and other naturally occurring silicas.
- Glass fibres and glass fibre products (mats, rovings) or glass microspheres.
The treatment of the fillers with the oligomeric silanes of formula (I) can be carried out in bulk, in organic solvents or in aqueous dispersion, under normal pressure or in vacuum, at temperatures from 50 to 220C, preferably at 50 to Le A 31 169-Foreign Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 130C. During this treatment additional compounds can also optionally be presentwhich interact chemically or physically with the surface of the filler, such as for example sulphur-free alkylsilyl ethers, hydroxy-group-cont~ining polysiloxanes, alkyl polyglycol ethers and stearic acid. The alcohol arising during the reaction is 5 preferably removed from the reaction product, but it can also remain in the product without loss of efficiency, since the reaction concerned is irreversible.
The alcohol is advantageously removed at once during the reaction, optionally together with water, or in a drying step connected at the outlet side.
Suitable solvents for carrying out the surface modification are for example 10 aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated aliphatic or chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers or carboxylic acid amides. Particularly suitable are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, i-butanol, amyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, n-octanol, i-octanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol as well as mixtures of these alcohols with aromatic, aliphatic or15 cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, cyclohexane, hexane, octane, oropen-chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane and their mixtures with alcohols or amides, such as dimethyl-formamide and dimethylacetamide.
In a preferred variant the compounds (I) are added as an aqueous dispersion to the 20 pure filler or to an aqueous suspension of the filler, and the alcohol and the water are thereafter removed by heating to about 50 to 220C, optionally by application of vacuum. In another process variant the compounds (I), optionally as a dispersion, are added to a suspension of the filler, heated to 50 to 100C, filtered and dried thereafter at 50 to 220C, optionally in vacuum. Spray drying likewise is 25 suitable.
The dispersions of the silanes of formula (I) can be prepared e.g. with the aid of known dispersing apparatuses, such as ultraturrax, shear-blade and shear-slit dissolvers, optionally in the presence of surfactants, at temperatures of room temperature (ca. 20 C) to 100C. Surfactants that may be mentioned are: poly-30 ethers, as for example polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of1000 to 4000, alkylphenolpolyglycol ethers, as for example the adduct of 10 mol ethylene oxide per mol nonylphenol, alkyl polyglycol ethers, such as for examplethe adduct of 7 mol of ethylene oxide and 1-dodecanol, sulphonated alkyl-aromatics, as for example dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid sodium salt, sulphonated Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 ~ 6 6 aliphatics, as for example dioctyl sulphosucçin~t~, sulphates, as for example lauryl sulphate, ammonium salts, as for example cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.
Preferred solid contents of silanes (I) in the dispersion are 0.1 to 85 wt.%, most preferably 5 to 50 wt.%, relative to the total weight of the dispersion. Preferred contents of emulsifier are 0.1 to 50 wt.%, most preferably 1 to 15 wt.%, in eachcase relative to the total weight of the dispersion.
In a further preferred variant the surface treatment of the oxidic or siliceous fillers is carried out in the presence of rubber solutions or rubber latices, optionally also in the presence of other, chemically non-reacting, fillers, particularly carbon blacks, with forrnation of so-called rubber/filler masterbatches. In this case asolution or aqueous dispersion of the silane (I) is reacted in the presence of arubber solution or a rubber latex, optionally in the presence of other non-reacting fillers, with an oxidic filler, optionally in aqueous suspension, and thereafterisolated by evaporation, spray drying or filtration and drying. The content of fillers can in this case be varied within wide limits, especially up to contents of 150 parts by wt. of surface-treated filler in 100 parts by wt. rubber, preferably 30 to 100 pts wt. filler per 100 parts by wt. rubber.
In addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubbers also are suitable as rubbers for the manufacture of such filler/rubber masterbatches. Preferred synthetic rubbers aredescribed for example in W. Hofmann, Rubber Technology, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include among others BR - Polybutadiene ABR - Butadiene/acrylic acid-CI 4 alkyl ester copolymers CR - Polychloroprene IR - Polyisoprene SBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers with styrene contents of 1 to 60, preferably 20 to 50, wt.%
XSBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers and graft polymers with other unsaturated, polar monomers, such as for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, hydroxyethyl acrylate and meth-acrylate with contents of copolymerised polar monomers of 1-30 %
by weight IIR - Isobutylene/isoprene copolymers Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 ~ 8 6 6 NBR - Butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers with acrylonitrile contents of 5 to 60, preferably 10 to 50, wt.%
HNBR - Partially or fully hydrogenated NBR rubber EPDM - Ethylene/propylene/diene copolymers 5 Rubber vulc~ni7~tes can be manufactured from the surface-treated fillers according to the invention, the rubbers and optionally known additional rubber auxiliary agents by the methods and techniques known in practice; for example by mixing filler, rubber and optionally other auxiliary agents in an internal mixer at tempe-ratures of 100 to 180C and thereafter admixing the cross-linking system (vul-c~ni7:ing agents) at 50 to 120C. In doing so, apart from the surface-treated fillers according to the invention other active or inactive fillers can be used in addition.
Most preferably, carbon blacks or superficially unmodified silica are added as other fillers. The carbon blacks to be used in this case are manufactured according to the flame soot, furnace or channel black processes and have BET surface areasof 20 to 300 m2/g, as for example SAF, ISAF, IISAF, HAF, FEF or GPF blacks.
Particularly preferred rubber compounds contain 10-150 parts by weight of light-coloured fillers, optionally together with 0 to 100 parts by weight of carbon black, each relative to 100 parts by weight of rubber, as well as optionally other rubber auxiliary agents in amounts of 0.1 to 50 wt.%.
20 In addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubbers also are suitable for the manu-facture of rubber vulc~ni7~tes with the aid of the surface-modified fillers. Pre-ferred synthetic rubbers are described for example in W. Hofmann, Rubber Technology, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include among others BR - Polybutadiene 25 ABR - Butadiene/acrylic acid-CI 4 alkyl ester copolymers CR - Polychloroprene IR - Polyisoprene SBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers with styrene contents of 1 to 60, preferably 2 to 50, wt.% 0 XSBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers and graft polymers with other unsaturated, polar monomers, such as for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, hydroxyethyl acrylate and meth-Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 .

by weight IIR - Isobutylene/isoprene copolymers NBR - Butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers with acrylonitrile contents of 5 to 60, preferably 10 to 50, wt.%
HNBR - Partially or fully hydrogenated NBR rubber EPDM - Ethylene/propylene/diene copolymers as well as blends of these rubbers. Especially of interest for the manufacture of motor vehicle tyres with the aid of the surface-modified fillers are anionically10 polymerized L-SBR rubbers with a glass transition temperature above -50C, which can optionally be modified with silyl ethers or other functional groups, as described e.g. in EP-A 447 066, as well as their blends with diene rubbers.
As mentioned, the rubber vulc~ni7~tes according to the invention can contain other rubber auxiliary agents, such as reaction accelerators, antiaging agents, heat stabili-15 zers, light-stability agents, ozone-stability agents, processing aids, plasticizers, tackifiers, blowing agents, dyes, pigments, waxes, extenders, organic acids, inhibi-tors, metal oxides as well as activators such as triethanolamine, polyethylene glycol, hexanetriol and bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulphide, surfactants andemulsifiers, such as the adduct of 5-10 mol of ethylene oxide and dodecanol, 20 sulphur-free silanes, such as octadecyl-triethoxysilane and hydroxy-group-cont~ining polydimethylsiloxanes, which are known in the rubber industry.
The rubber auxiliary agents are used in conventional amounts, which are governedamong other things by the intended application. Conventional amounts are e.g.
amounts of 0.1 to 50 wt.% relative to the rubber used.
25 Sulphur, sulphur donors or peroxides, as known cross-linking agents (vulcanizing agents), can be used. The rubber compounds according to the invention can, over and above that, include vulcanization accelerators. Examples of suitable vulcani-zation accelerators are mercaptobenzothiazoles and -sulphenamides, guanidines, thiurams, dithiocarbamates, thioureas and thiocarbonates. The cross-linking accele-30 rators and cross-linking agents, such as sulphur or peroxides, are used in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 10 wt.%, preferably 0.1 to 5 wt.%, relative to the rubber used.
Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 l 7 9 8 6 6 -The vulcanization can be carried out at temperatures of 100 to 200C, preferably130 to 180C, optionally under a pressure of 10 to 200 bar.
The mixing of the rubbers with the surface-modified fillers may be carried out in conventional mixing units, such as cylinders, internal mixers and compounding 5 extruders.
The rubber vulc~ni7~tes according to the invention are suitable for the manufacture of moulded bodies, e.g. for the manufacture of cable jackets, hoses, transmission belts, conveyor belts, roller coatings, tyres, shoe soles, gaskets and damping ele-ments.

10 The treatment of filler surfaces with organosilicon compounds for the improve-ment of the filler/matrix coupling in thermoplastic and duroplastic composites as well as filled rubber systems is known. Particularly suitable for the manufacture of highly reinforced and abrasion-resistant rubber articles is the treatment, described in US-PS 4 514 231 and 4 704 414, of fillers with compounds of the structure:
15 (Rnl(RO)3nSi-(Alk)m-Ar)p)2(S)x, especially bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulphide.
Under the treatment conditions quoted there the organosilicon compound reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the filler surface.
The fillers of US-PS 4 514 231 and 4 704 414 are certainly already considerably more active than the unmodified ones, but it was the aim of the present invention 20 to increase the reinforcing effect of the oxidic and siliceous fillers still further, in order on the one hand to improve the technical properties of the rubber articlesand on the other to reduce the raw material costs for the manufacture of like grades. Owing to their low damping effect and the high abrasion resistance, the novel surface-modified oxidic or siliceous fillers are especially suitable for the 25 manufacture of motor vehicle tyres with low resistance to rolling and high mileage.
The present invention therefore provides surface-treated oxidic or siliceous fillers obtainable by reaction of an oxidic or siliceous filler with a silane of formula (I) RlR2R3 Si - Xl - ( - Sx - Y - )m - (- Sx - X2 - SiRlR2R3)n (I), 30 wherein R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and represent C1-CI8 alkyl or Cl-C18 alkoxy, which can optionally be interrupted by oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 _ -- 2 atoms, C6-CI2 aryl or aryloxy or C7-CI8 alkylaryl or alkylaryloxy, provided that at least one of the groups Rl to R3 is an alkoxy, aryloxy or alkylaryloxy group;
Xl and x2 are the same or different and stand for linear, branched or cyclic, optionally unsaturated, Cl-CI2 alkylene groups, Y stands for linear, branched or cyclic, optionally unsaturated Cl-C18 alkylene groups, that are optionally substituted with C6-CI2 aryl, Cl-C8 alkoxy or hydroxy groups and may optionally be interrupted by oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen atoms or aromatic C6-CI2 groups, as well as for C6-CI2 arylene groups or heteroarylene groups, m stands for a whole number from 1 to 20, n stands for a whole number from 1 to 6 and x represents a number from 1 to 8, at temperatures of 50 to 220C, optionally in vacuum, wherein 0.1 to 25 wt.%, relative to oxidic or siliceous filler, of silanes of formula (I) are used.
Particularly preferred silanes according to the invention are e.g. those of formula (I) wherein Xl and x2 represent methylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene or hexylene groups and Y represents methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, hexylene, cyclohexylene, octylene, decylene, dodecylene, 2,2'-oxydiethylene, methylenebis(2,2'-oxyethylene), ethylenebis(2,2'-oxyethylene), 1,1'-thiodiethylene, N-methyl-N',N"-diethylene or a,a-p-xylidene groups or higher-valent groups such as 1,2,3-propylidene, N,N',N"-triethylene or 1,3,5-s-triazinyl, and in which n represents whole numbers from 1 to 6, x numbers from 2 to 6 and m whole numbers from 1 to 10. The silanes according to the invention can exist both as asingle compound with a defined molecular weight and as an oligomer mixture with a molecular weight distribution. For reasons of process technology it is inmany cases simpler to manufacture and use an oligomeric or polymeric mixture.
The compounds have a molecular weight between about 500 and 8000.
The silanes (I) according to the invention can be manufactured in various ways:
Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 A: By reaction of mercapto-group-cont~ining silanes and di- and/or polymeric mercap~ s with sulphur dichloride or disulphur dichloride with splitting off of HCl. The reaction can be carried out in a manner known as such at temperatures of -30 to +80C, optionally in solvents such as alcohols or aromatic hydrocarbons:
RIR2R3Si-X-SH + HS-Y-SH + Sx-Cl2 ~
R R R Si~X~Sx+2(Y~Sx+2)m~X~SiR R R + HCl (For the carrying-out of the reaction see e.g. Houben Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, volume 9, pages 88 ff. (1955) and volume E 11 (1985), Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart).
B: The preparation of compounds (I) is possible particularly favourably if haloalkyl silyl ethers and polyhalides are reacted with metal polysulphides in the presence of alcoholic solvents at temperatures of -20 to +120C:
RIR2R3Si-X-Hal + Hal-Y-Hal + Na2Sx ~
RIR2R3Si-X-Sx(X-Sx)m-X-SiRlR2R3 + NaHal Preferably used as metal polysulphides are those of the formula Me2Sx, in which Me stands for lithium, sodium or potassium and x represents a number between 2 and 6.
Alcohols preferably are used as solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-20 propanol, i-butanol, amyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, n-octanol, i-octanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol as well asmixtures of these alcohols with aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, cyclohexane, hexane, octane, or open-chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane and their mixtures 25 with alcohols Particularly preferred silanes correspond to the formulae (RO)3S j ~~ S ~ --n Si(OR)3 II

Oxidic and siliceous fillers means all known natural or synthetic inorganic fillers which, because of a content of hydroxyl groups and/or water of hydration, can react superficially with the silanes (I). These are for example precipitated or pyrogenic silica, aluminium hydroxide, aluminium silicate, calcium silicate, cal-cium sulphate, china clay and/or calcined clay.
Particularly preferred are:
- Highly-dispersed silicas, manufactured e.g. by precipitation of solutions of silicates or flame hydrolysis of silicon halides, with specific surface areas of 5 to 1000, preferably 20 to 400, m2/g (BET surface area) and with primary particle sizes of 10 to 400 nm. The silicas can also optionally be present as mixed oxides with other metal oxides, such as Al, Mg, Ca, Ba, Zn and Ti oxides.
- Synthetic silicates, such as aluminium silicate, alkaline earth metal silicates such as magnesium silicate or calcium silicate, with BET surface areas of 20 to 400 m2/g and primary particle diameters of 10 to 400 nm.
- Natural silicates, such as kaolin and other naturally occurring silicas.
- Glass fibres and glass fibre products (mats, rovings) or glass microspheres.
The treatment of the fillers with the oligomeric silanes of formula (I) can be carried out in bulk, in organic solvents or in aqueous dispersion, under normal pressure or in vacuum, at temperatures from 50 to 220C, preferably at 50 to Le A 31 169-Foreign Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 130C. During this treatment additional compounds can also optionally be presentwhich interact chemically or physically with the surface of the filler, such as for example sulphur-free alkylsilyl ethers, hydroxy-group-cont~ining polysiloxanes, alkyl polyglycol ethers and stearic acid. The alcohol arising during the reaction is 5 preferably removed from the reaction product, but it can also remain in the product without loss of efficiency, since the reaction concerned is irreversible.
The alcohol is advantageously removed at once during the reaction, optionally together with water, or in a drying step connected at the outlet side.
Suitable solvents for carrying out the surface modification are for example 10 aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated aliphatic or chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers or carboxylic acid amides. Particularly suitable are methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, i-butanol, amyl alcohol, hexyl alcohol, n-octanol, i-octanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol as well as mixtures of these alcohols with aromatic, aliphatic or15 cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, cyclohexane, hexane, octane, oropen-chain or cyclic ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane and their mixtures with alcohols or amides, such as dimethyl-formamide and dimethylacetamide.
In a preferred variant the compounds (I) are added as an aqueous dispersion to the 20 pure filler or to an aqueous suspension of the filler, and the alcohol and the water are thereafter removed by heating to about 50 to 220C, optionally by application of vacuum. In another process variant the compounds (I), optionally as a dispersion, are added to a suspension of the filler, heated to 50 to 100C, filtered and dried thereafter at 50 to 220C, optionally in vacuum. Spray drying likewise is 25 suitable.
The dispersions of the silanes of formula (I) can be prepared e.g. with the aid of known dispersing apparatuses, such as ultraturrax, shear-blade and shear-slit dissolvers, optionally in the presence of surfactants, at temperatures of room temperature (ca. 20 C) to 100C. Surfactants that may be mentioned are: poly-30 ethers, as for example polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of1000 to 4000, alkylphenolpolyglycol ethers, as for example the adduct of 10 mol ethylene oxide per mol nonylphenol, alkyl polyglycol ethers, such as for examplethe adduct of 7 mol of ethylene oxide and 1-dodecanol, sulphonated alkyl-aromatics, as for example dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid sodium salt, sulphonated Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 ~ 6 6 aliphatics, as for example dioctyl sulphosucçin~t~, sulphates, as for example lauryl sulphate, ammonium salts, as for example cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.
Preferred solid contents of silanes (I) in the dispersion are 0.1 to 85 wt.%, most preferably 5 to 50 wt.%, relative to the total weight of the dispersion. Preferred contents of emulsifier are 0.1 to 50 wt.%, most preferably 1 to 15 wt.%, in eachcase relative to the total weight of the dispersion.
In a further preferred variant the surface treatment of the oxidic or siliceous fillers is carried out in the presence of rubber solutions or rubber latices, optionally also in the presence of other, chemically non-reacting, fillers, particularly carbon blacks, with forrnation of so-called rubber/filler masterbatches. In this case asolution or aqueous dispersion of the silane (I) is reacted in the presence of arubber solution or a rubber latex, optionally in the presence of other non-reacting fillers, with an oxidic filler, optionally in aqueous suspension, and thereafterisolated by evaporation, spray drying or filtration and drying. The content of fillers can in this case be varied within wide limits, especially up to contents of 150 parts by wt. of surface-treated filler in 100 parts by wt. rubber, preferably 30 to 100 pts wt. filler per 100 parts by wt. rubber.
In addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubbers also are suitable as rubbers for the manufacture of such filler/rubber masterbatches. Preferred synthetic rubbers aredescribed for example in W. Hofmann, Rubber Technology, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include among others BR - Polybutadiene ABR - Butadiene/acrylic acid-CI 4 alkyl ester copolymers CR - Polychloroprene IR - Polyisoprene SBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers with styrene contents of 1 to 60, preferably 20 to 50, wt.%
XSBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers and graft polymers with other unsaturated, polar monomers, such as for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, hydroxyethyl acrylate and meth-acrylate with contents of copolymerised polar monomers of 1-30 %

HNBR - Partially or fully hydrogenated NBR rubber EPDM - Ethylene/propylene/diene copolymers 5 Rubber vulc~ni7~tes can be manufactured from the surface-treated fillers according to the invention, the rubbers and optionally known additional rubber auxiliary agents by the methods and techniques known in practice; for example by mixing filler, rubber and optionally other auxiliary agents in an internal mixer at tempe-ratures of 100 to 180C and thereafter admixing the cross-linking system (vul-c~ni7:ing agents) at 50 to 120C. In doing so, apart from the surface-treated fillers according to the invention other active or inactive fillers can be used in addition.
Most preferably, carbon blacks or superficially unmodified silica are added as other fillers. The carbon blacks to be used in this case are manufactured according to the flame soot, furnace or channel black processes and have BET surface areasof 20 to 300 m2/g, as for example SAF, ISAF, IISAF, HAF, FEF or GPF blacks.
Particularly preferred rubber compounds contain 10-150 parts by weight of light-coloured fillers, optionally together with 0 to 100 parts by weight of carbon black, each relative to 100 parts by weight of rubber, as well as optionally other rubber auxiliary agents in amounts of 0.1 to 50 wt.%.
20 In addition to natural rubber, synthetic rubbers also are suitable for the manu-facture of rubber vulc~ni7~tes with the aid of the surface-modified fillers. Pre-ferred synthetic rubbers are described for example in W. Hofmann, Rubber Technology, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include among others BR - Polybutadiene 25 ABR - Butadiene/acrylic acid-CI 4 alkyl ester copolymers CR - Polychloroprene IR - Polyisoprene SBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers with styrene contents of 1 to 60, preferably 2 to 50, wt.% 0 XSBR - Styrene/butadiene copolymers and graft polymers with other unsaturated, polar monomers, such as for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, hydroxyethyl acrylate and meth-Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 1 7 9 8 6 6 .

HNBR - Partially or fully hydrogenated NBR rubber EPDM - Ethylene/propylene/diene copolymers as well as blends of these rubbers. Especially of interest for the manufacture of motor vehicle tyres with the aid of the surface-modified fillers are anionically10 polymerized L-SBR rubbers with a glass transition temperature above -50C, which can optionally be modified with silyl ethers or other functional groups, as described e.g. in EP-A 447 066, as well as their blends with diene rubbers.
As mentioned, the rubber vulc~ni7~tes according to the invention can contain other rubber auxiliary agents, such as reaction accelerators, antiaging agents, heat stabili-15 zers, light-stability agents, ozone-stability agents, processing aids, plasticizers, tackifiers, blowing agents, dyes, pigments, waxes, extenders, organic acids, inhibi-tors, metal oxides as well as activators such as triethanolamine, polyethylene glycol, hexanetriol and bis(triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulphide, surfactants andemulsifiers, such as the adduct of 5-10 mol of ethylene oxide and dodecanol, 20 sulphur-free silanes, such as octadecyl-triethoxysilane and hydroxy-group-cont~ining polydimethylsiloxanes, which are known in the rubber industry.
The rubber auxiliary agents are used in conventional amounts, which are governedamong other things by the intended application. Conventional amounts are e.g.
amounts of 0.1 to 50 wt.% relative to the rubber used.
25 Sulphur, sulphur donors or peroxides, as known cross-linking agents (vulcanizing agents), can be used. The rubber compounds according to the invention can, over and above that, include vulcanization accelerators. Examples of suitable vulcani-zation accelerators are mercaptobenzothiazoles and -sulphenamides, guanidines, thiurams, dithiocarbamates, thioureas and thiocarbonates. The cross-linking accele-30 rators and cross-linking agents, such as sulphur or peroxides, are used in each case in amounts of 0.1 to 10 wt.%, preferably 0.1 to 5 wt.%, relative to the rubber used.
Le A 31 169-Forei~n Countries 2 l 7 9 8 6 6 -The vulcanization can be carried out at temperatures of 100 to 200C, preferably130 to 180C, optionally under a pressure of 10 to 200 bar.
The mixing of the rubbers with the surface-modified fillers may be carried out in conventional mixing units, such as cylinders, internal mixers and compounding 5 extruders.
The rubber vulc~ni7~tes according to the invention are suitable for the manufacture of moulded bodies, e.g. for the manufacture of cable jackets, hoses, transmission belts, conveyor belts, roller coatings, tyres, shoe soles, gaskets and damping ele-ments.
