Definitions
- the present invention relates to the tires, to the treads of these tires and to the rubber compositions that can be used for the manufacture of these treads.
- compositions also hereinafter referred to as "filling materials” that can be used to fill cavities present on the surface of the treads in the new state, or even incorporated into the mass of the latter and intended to be flush with on their surface at a later stage, after a first driving.
- the tread of a tire is provided with a tread pattern to obtain satisfactory adhesion performance, in particular on the ground sliding by the presence of a liquid.
- a sculpture comprises in particular elements of sculpture or elementary blocks, formed by molding in the thickness of the tread, which are delimited by various main ribs or grooves, longitudinal, transverse or oblique, these elementary blocks may further comprise various incisions or slices finer.
- Patent Application EP 1 065 075 has proposed for its part to provide the sculptural blocks with a plurality of fine, non-emerging openings on the surface of the tread, which contain a filling material which wears out faster than the composition of the tread itself (see in particular Figures 1 and 2 of the application).
- the filler material is adhered during vulcanization to the walls delimiting each incision. At least in the new state, it completely fills the cavity and mechanically connects the walls of the thus filled cavity, which maintains a rigidity to the carving elements.
- the filling material is eliminated gradually and more rapidly than the composition constituting the tread (so-called differential wear phenomenon), to form a depth conduit very low, but still sufficient to allow some of the air trapped in the "blind” incisions to escape, thus avoiding an increase in rolling noise of the tire provided with such a tread.
- the filling materials used may have disadvantages. Depending on the particular rolling conditions of the tire, it is possible to observe a tendency of the material to crack during travel, resulting in partial decohesion of the latter (the cavities then tend to empty in jerks) which is ultimately detrimental to targeted (progressive) differential wear as previously described.
- the invention relates to a tire comprising a tread, said tread being provided with a plurality of cavities, at least a portion of said cavities comprising a filling composition based on at least:
- a diene elastomer more than 50 phr of charge (denoted A) whose particles are nanoparticles whose average size (in mass) is less than 500 nm; - More than 70 phr of load (denoted B) whose particles are microparticles whose median size (mass) of the particles is greater than 1 micron.
- the filling composition is sufficiently cohesive to ensure excellent mechanical strength of the cavities (at least partly) filled; it also has the ability to wear gradually during travel, without cracking, and faster than the constituent composition of the tread itself.
- cavity is meant in the present application any cut or notch, continuous or discontinuous, delimited by at least one wall and a bottom, whose width is small relative to the dimensions of the blocks or elements of sculpture, and whose orientation is any vis-à-vis the longitudinal direction (ie, circumferential) of the tread. It may be for example a main rib with two walls extending continuously over the entire circumference of the tread, a main or auxiliary groove separating at least two adjacent carving blocks, or alternatively a much finer incision, typically less than 2 mm wide, present inside a block elementary of sculpture. Depending on the desired effect, this cavity has a greater or lesser depth relative to the thickness of the tread itself.
- the filling compositions are characterized, before and after cooking, as indicated below.
- the average size (in mass) of the nanoparticles is measured conventionally after dispersion, by deagglomeration with ultrasound, of the load to be analyzed in water or an aqueous solution containing a surfactant.
- an inorganic filler such as silica
- the measurement is carried out using an XDC X-ray centrifugal sedimentometer ("X-rays Disk Centrifuge"), marketed by Brookhaven Instruments, according to the following procedure.
- a gradient composed of 15 ml of water (at 0.05% of a nonionic surfactant) and 1 ml of ethanol is injected into the disk of the sedimentometer in rotation at 8000 rpm to constitute a "step gradient ". Then, 0.3 ml of the carbon black slurry is injected onto the surface of the gradient; after sedimentation for 120 min, the mass distribution of the particle sizes and the average mass size d w are calculated by the sedimentometer software, as indicated above.
- the size of the microparticles As for measuring the size of the microparticles (non-reinforcing particles), it is possible to use a simple analysis of the particle size by mechanical sieving.
- the operation consists in sieving a defined quantity of sample (for example 200 g) on a vibrating table for 30 min with different sieve diameters (for example, with a series of 10 to 15 meshes gradually varying from 5 to 300 ⁇ m ); the refusals collected on each sieve are weighed on a precision scale; the% of refusal is deduced for each mesh diameter relative to the total weight of product, the median weight size (or apparent median diameter) is finally calculated in a known manner from the histogram of the particle size distribution.
- the Shore A hardness of the compositions after curing is assessed according to ASTM D 2240-86.
- the tires contain cavities whose main direction is arranged either in the transverse direction or in the longitudinal direction of the tread, on the tire.
- the tires are mounted on a motor vehicle equipped with an ABS braking system and the distance necessary to change from a speed of 50 km / h to that of 10 km / h is measured during a sudden braking.

- the tires contain cavities whose main direction is arranged in the longitudinal (or circumferential) direction of the tread; the tires are tested on a circuit in the shape of a circular ring radius of about 120 m.
- the coefficient of transverse adhesion is measured, which is known in a manner known as the ratio of the transverse force between the ground and the tire to the load of the tire on the ground. A value greater than that of the control, arbitrarily set at 100, indicates an improved result, i.e. higher transverse adhesion.

- the constitutive composition of the tread itself was a silica-reinforced rubber composition, identical in formulation to the composition C-1.1 described above.
- a control tire (denoted P-1.1) had empty cavities (i.e., not filled with the filler material), 2 mm deep, on the surface of the tread elements.
- the braking distances of the tires according to the invention that is to say the filling material of which comprises more than 70 phr of load B (chalk), are in all cases lower than those of control tires (performance indices greater than 100).
- the control tire P-2.1 had cavities 2 mm deep on the surface of the sculpting elements, not filled with the filling composition.
- the tire P-2.2 according to the invention comprised cavities filled with a composition based on carbon black, of identical formulation to that of the previous composition C-2.1 and comprising in a preferential mode between 100 and 300 phr as a load non-reinforcing B (more precisely, 150 pce of chalk).
- the shape of these cavities is the same as that described in Trial 3. A single incision is made on each elementary block of sculpture.
- the tires were mounted on the same passenger vehicle to be subjected first to a driving on a very steep road circuit, for about 15 000 km, until a wear rate of 50% of the tire band was reached. rolling. After that, the tires thus used were subjected to the adhesion tests described in the preceding paragraph 1-4 (tests A-2 and B).
- the invention makes it possible to create tread sculptures whose cavities filled with the filling composition have the capacity to self-regenerate during the rolling of the tires, thereby ensuring the durability of the tread performance. adherence referred.
- the invention also applies to cases of cavities which are not present on the surface of treads in the new state, but incorporated into the mass of the latter and intended to be flush with their surface at a later stage, after a first ride.
- N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazyl sulfenamide (Santocure CBS from Flexsys).
