Vulcanizing behavior of the MVQ incorporating silica particles modified with the two methods was measured by a DMTA. The
Storage modulus-Temperature curves of the MVQ filled with silica particles are displayed in Fig. 7. As seen from Fig. 7, it is observed that the storage modulus of MVQ compounds exhibits a continuing reduction when the temperature varies from 50 to 95 C owing to the compounds’ softening. And after 95 C
