Abstract
A method of controlling silica reinforcement in a curable silicone composition having a desired property related to the silica reinforcement comprising adding to the curable silicone composition a volume fraction of reinforcing silica filler sufficient to provide the desired property, where the volume fraction is determined by use of a regression analysis equation relating the volume fraction, Carman surface area (CSA), and Burnauer-Emmet-Teller surface area (BET) of the reinforcing silica filler to the desired property.
