Abstract:
1. A method for treating filler material comprising: (i) placing a filler into a mixer; (ii) contacting the filler material with at least one silane of the general formula: wherein each occurrence of G is independently —(CH each occurrence of X is independently R each —R each occurrence of Z each occurrence of Z each occurrence of the subscript f is independently an integer from 1 to 15; each occurrence of the subscript n is an integer from 1 to 100, with the proviso that when n is greater than 1, v is an integer greater than 0 and all the valences for Z each occurrence of the subscript u is independently an integer from 0 to 3; each occurrence of the subscript v is independently an integer from 0 to 3; each occurrence of the subscript w, is independently an integer from 0 to 1, with the proviso that u+v+22w=3; each occurrence of the subscript s is an integer 1; each occurrence of the subscript r is an integer 1; and each occurrence of Y is independently an organofunctional group of valence, r, selected from the group consisting of CH with the provisos that said silane contains at least one occurrence of Z (iii) mixing the silane composition in contact with the filler of step (ii); and optionally (iv) drying the mixture of step (iii).
