Description

Non-pneumatic tire rubber material with modified white carbon black filler
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of materials, and particularly relates to a non-pneumatic tire rubber material with modified white carbon black filler and modified white carbon black for producing non-pneumatic tire rubber.
Background
The tire is one of the main application products of rubber products, half of the rubber consumption in the world is used for manufacturing the tire, and the development of the rubber material applied to the tire needs strong theoretical support and innovation. Although solid tires are not the mainstream products in tires, they are widely used in important fields such as mineral mining, engineering construction and cargo transportation due to their good load-carrying capacity and safety. In practical application, although solid rubber tires have many advantages, the further popularization and application of the solid rubber tires are limited due to poor performance of carcass materials and over-simple structure.
The selection of the carcass material of the solid tire is the key of tire manufacturing, the rubber material is used as a material with high elasticity and stress deformation recoverability, the application in the aspect of tire manufacturing has been for many years, and the rubber is selected as the carcass material of the current mainstream solid tire.
Tires are required to have a combination of safety, economy, and comfort. Conventional tire rubbers are produced by blending and using Natural Rubber (NR), Butadiene Rubber (BR), and Emulsion Styrene Butadiene Rubber (ESBR), and it is difficult for such rubber compounds to achieve the aim of both high wet skid resistance and low rolling resistance. The hysteresis loss and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the tire rubber greatly affect the wet skid resistance. SSBR is one of styrene-butadiene rubbers and is also a very widely used compound as a tire material. The SSBR has adjustable relative molecular mass, belongs to special rubber in styrene butadiene rubber, and is suitable for producing tire rubber. The SSBR has the advantages of low Tg, small extrusion shrinkage, stable size, low power in the mixing process and small heat generation, and can enable the rubber compound to have low hysteresis heat generation and high wear resistance when being used for tire materials. However, since the end structure of the SSBR molecule affects the rolling resistance and wet skid resistance of the rubber material, there is a need for modification to further improve the wet skid resistance and reduce the rolling resistance.
Rubber materials often require the addition of fillers in the manufacture of articles for both household and industrial use. Of the various components of the rubber, the amount of filler is the greatest, with the exception of the raw rubber. The addition of the filler can improve the physical and mechanical properties of the rubber product, such as stress at definite elongation, tensile strength, tear strength and the like, and various properties such as wear resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance and the like, prolong the service life of the product, improve the processability of the rubber product to a certain extent and reduce the production cost. White carbon black is a newly developed reinforcing filler in the rubber industry.
The white carbon black is hydrated silicon dioxide (SiO)2) Containing partially crystallized water and having the formula Si02-nH2O, primary particles having a particle size of 10nm to 40nm are easily agglomerated because the surfaces thereof are rich in silicon hydroxyl groups. White carbon black is a commonly used enhanced filler in the rubber field, is insoluble in water and can be mutually soluble with solvents such as strong base and the like. The white carbon black has a very special surface structure, presents obvious porosity, has a large surface area, has good chemical stability, and has excellent high-temperature resistance, flame retardance and electrical insulation. The Si-O structure of the white carbon black and the silicon hydroxyl groups on the surface enable the white carbon black to have weak affinity with rubber molecular chains, so that the dispersion effect is poor, in other words, due to the existence of the surface hydroxyl groups, the surface energy is increased, so that aggregates are easily formed by the interaction among particles, and larger aggregates are easily formed among the aggregates, so that the applicability of the product is greatly influenced. Meanwhile, the problem that static electricity cannot be led out exists in a sizing material filled with a large amount of white carbon black, and currently, an antistatic agent is usually added to solve the problem, however, the effect is not good, and meanwhile, the addition of the antistatic agent influences other properties of the sizing material.
The tire tread is required to have high speed and safety performance, comfort performance, energy-saving performance and the like, and the tread rubber is required to have performances of three aspects of high wet skid resistance, low rolling resistance and good wear resistance. Therefore, further modification of a rubber material for a tire is required to satisfy the three properties of high wet skid resistance, low rolling resistance and good abrasion resistance.
