%X Monte Carlo simulation of temperature dependence of electric conductivity of a model mixture system, which involves reaction with first order kinetics, was carried out on the basis of chemical kinetics laws. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of rubber compounds during the process of silane treatment was studied experimentally. Simulated temperature dependence of conductivity was compared with measured experimental results. The obtained experimental results and the data derived from numerical simulation are in satisfactory agreement. Effective method for monitoring and control of silane treatment of rubber compounds directly during the material preparation process can be proposed on the basis of the abovementioned finding.
