Abstract The dynamic storage modulus of uncured silica-filled silicone rubber increases sharply when a critical filler loading is reached. A similar behavior has been observed for the conductivity in the same compounds. The experimental data fit a percolation law fairly well, and microscopy confirms the formation of a filler network according to the percolation model. This behavior depends on a polymer-filler interaction level, suggesting a filler network consisting of filler particles bridged together by adsorbed polymer. It has been found that the percolation threshold coincides with the optimum value of elongation at break of the corresponding vulcanizates. The percolation behavior and the relations between properties of filled rubbers described here were observed in various filled rubbers of quite different compositions. This seems to suggest the general validity of the presented relationships in all elastomers reinforced by particulate fillers.
