A new method for the surface modification of used tire rubber (UTR) is being developed. The method involves hydrosilylation of ground UTR particles with trichlorosilane (TCS) under various reaction conditions. The reaction has been carried out with and without solvents and catalysts (Karsted's/Pt catalyst). TCS treated UTR particles are then hydrolyzed to obtain silanol functionalized hydrosilylated rubber powder. Attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared, solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis are provided as evidence of hydrosilylation onto rubber particles.
