Rubber composition intended for the manufacture of tire casings which have
improved hysteretic properties and scorch safety, based on at least one
elastomer and silica by way of reinforcing filler enclosing a reinforcing
additive consisting of the mixture and/or the product of in situ reaction
of at least one functionalized polyorganosiloxane compound containing,
per molecule, at least one functional siloxy unit capable of bonding
chemically and/or physically to the surface hydroxyl sites of the silica
particles and at least one functionalized organosilane compound
containing, per molecule, at least one functional group capable of
bonding chemically and/or physically to the polyorganosiloxane and/or the
hydroxyl sites of the silica particles and at least one other functional
group capable of bonding chemically and/or physically to the polymer
chains.
