Figure 8.11 Tear strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>NR</strong> vulcanizates with RH<strong>silica</strong><br />

The abrasi<strong>on</strong> resistance is higher for vulcanizate filled with <strong>modified</strong><br />

RH<strong>silica</strong> compared to vulcanizate with un<strong>modified</strong> <strong>silica</strong>. This is shown <strong>in</strong><br />
