A surface‐modified rubber‐grade carbon black has been prepared by treating it with 1,3,5‐trihydroxy benzene (phluroglucinol) in aqueous solution at different molar concentrations. This modified carbon black has been used as one of the compounding ingredients with natural rubber. An attempt has been made to establish a concentration optimum for the modifier. Improved physicomechanical properties like hardness, heat buildup, hysteresis loss, and improved dynamic mechanical properties are observed for the compounded rubber. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
