We report a complete analysis of model silica/styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites including a direct and quantitative correlation between the filler structure and the mechanical reinforcement. We compared two different ways of sample processing: a solvent casting route with well-defined colloidal silica and the manufacturing process of internal mixing with industrial silica powder. The multiscale filler dispersion was characterized with a combination of SAXS/TEM in both reciprocal and direct space. The mechanical properties were determined with oscillatory shear measurements. We evaluated the influence of two polymer-filler interfacial additives on the filler dispersion: a coating agent and a coupling agent for different particle concentrations. Using simple analytical functions, we succeed in modeling the filler dispersion. We obtained surprisingly the same general trend whatever the sample processing, solvent casting, or internal mixing. The primary particles form fractal primary aggregates in...
