The invention concerns an elastomer composition made from at least one diene elastomer, an inorganic filler as the reinforcing filler, a monohydroxysilane polysulfide as the coupling agent, of formula (I): (HO)(R 1 ) 2 Si –CH 2 –(R 2 )CH-Z-Sx–Z-HC((R 2 )–CH 2 -Si(R 1 ) 2 (OH)(I), wherein: -R 1 are identical or different and each represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising 1 to 18 carbon atoms; -R 2 are identical or different and each represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising 1 to 4 carbon atoms; -Z are identical or different and each represent a divalent hydrocarbon linking group comprising 1 to 16 carbon atoms; and -x is an integer or fraction greater than or equal to 2. |
