- the rubber compositions of the invention are manufactured in appropriate mixers, using two successive preparation phases according to a general procedure well known to those skilled in the art: a first phase of work or thermomechanical mixing (sometimes called phase “non-productive") at high temperature, up to a maximum temperature of between 130 ° C and 200 ° C, preferably between 145 ° C and 185 ° C, followed by a second phase of mechanical work (sometimes qualified "Productive” phase) at a lower temperature, typically below 120 ° C, for example between 60 ° C and 100 ° C, finishing phase during which is incorporated the crosslinking system or vulcanization.
- a first phase of work or thermomechanical mixing sometimes called phase "non-productive”
- a second phase of mechanical work sometimes qualified "Productive” phase
- all the basic constituents of the compositions of the invention with the exception of the vulcanization system, namely the masterbatch, and optional additives of the masterbatch, if appropriate are intimately incorporated, by kneading, with the diene elastomer during the so-called non-productive first phase, that is to say that it is introduced into the mixer and kneaded thermomechanically, one or more steps, at least these different basic constituents up to reach the maximum temperature between 130 ° C and 200 ° C, preferably between 145 ° C and 1 85 ° C.
- the first (non-productive) phase is carried out in a single thermomechanical step in the course of which all the necessary constituents, the possible caustic agents, are introduced into a suitable mixer such as a conventional internal mixer. Complementary recovery or implementation and other miscellaneous additives, with the exception of the vulcanization system.
- the total mixing time in this non-productive phase is preferably between 1 and 15 minutes.
- the vulcanization system is then incorporated at low temperature, generally in an external mixer such as a roller mixer; the whole is then mixed (productive phase) for a few minutes, for example between 2 and 15 min.

- the reactants After weighing the black, the water and the surfactant: the sodium dodecyl sulphate denoted SDS, the reactants are brought into contact in a glass beaker of 50 ml (low form).
- the whole is homogenized with an ultrasound probe twice, for 2 minutes, with a pause of 30 seconds between the two passages to avoid a significant heating of the dispersion.
- the bath is prepared by adding the desired concentrations of SDS (see Table 2) and 41 mmol / L of Dextran to a volume of water of 150 ml.
- aqueous filler dispersion (B) and a natural rubber solution of identical weight are mixed by gentle stirring with the spatula to intimately mix them.
- the potential of the surfactant in the bath is equal to the chemical potential of the surfactant in the dispersion (C).
- the volume of the dialysis bath being greater than 50 times the volume of the dispersion (C) in the dialysis bag, the variation of chemical potential in the bath is negligible.

- its chemical potential is greater than OJ / mo l.
- the chemical potential of the bath is equal to the chemical potential of the aqueous dispersion (C), which is less than OJ / mo l.
- the reduction of the chemical potential in the dialysis bag allows the coagulation of the dispersion (C).
