IPPD <strong>in</strong> natural rubber is shown <strong>in</strong> figure 7.7. Dur<strong>in</strong>g mix<strong>in</strong>g it is observed<br />

that <strong>the</strong> IPPD <strong>modified</strong> <strong>silica</strong> gets easily <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> rubber matrix<br />

<strong>in</strong> lesser time compared to neat <strong>silica</strong>. This may be due to <strong>the</strong> lower<br />

hydrophilic nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>modified</strong> <strong>silica</strong>.<br />
