Abstract
In this article we report synthesis of mesoporous silica with superior properties for application in green
tire (environmentally friendly tire) as filler. The synthesis was done using a newly innovated apparatus
which produce mesoporous silica with superior properties. The desired superior properties are big pore
size, optimum BET, large pore volume, uniform properties, and improved performance in real application
as tire filler. Mesoporous silica was characterized by BET method and final product with a pore diameter
of up to 37 nm was obtained without using surfactants. This is unprecedented step toward synthesis of
silica that is suitable for tire industry.
