- the minimum torque value C min is measured for each composition.
- the Cmin is representative of the green viscosity (before vulcanization) of the rubber composition and makes it possible to apprehend the aptitude of the rubber composition to be implemented (in English "processability").
- Dynamic properties The dynamic properties tan ( ⁇ ) max are measured on a viscoanalyzer (Metravib VA4000) according to ASTM D 5992-96. The response of a sample of vulcanized composition (cylindrical specimen 4 mm in thickness and 400 mm 2 in section), subjected to a sinusoidal stress in alternating simple shear, at the frequency of 10 Hz, is recorded under normal conditions. temperature (23 ° C) according to ASTM D 1349-99. A strain amplitude sweep is performed from 0.1% to 100% (forward cycle) and then from 100% to 0.1% (return cycle). The dynamic shear complex modulus (G *) and the modulus difference (AG *) are measured between the values at 0.1 and 100% deformation (Payne effect).
- This compound can be prepared according to the following reaction scheme:
- This compound can be obtained according to a procedure described in the following article: Zenkevich, IG; Makarov, AA; Russian Journal of General Chemistry; flight. 77; nb. 4; (2007); p. 611-619 (Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, vol.77, no.4, (2007), pp. 653-662)
- This compound can be obtained according to a procedure described in the following article: Yakubov, A. P .; Tsyganov, D. V .; Belenkii, L. I .; Krayushkin, M. M .; Bulletin of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Division of Chemical Science; flight. 40; nb. 7.2;
- compositions are prepared in the following manner: an internal mixer (final filling ratio: about 70% by volume) is introduced, the initial vessel temperature of which is about 110 ° C., the elastomer, if necessary, the 1,3-dipolar compound which is kneaded alone with the elastomer for about 2 minutes at 110 ° C., then the silica, the coupling agent, as well as the various other ingredients with the exception of the vulcanization.
- Thermomechanical work (non-productive phase) is then carried out in one step, which lasts about 5 minutes to 6 minutes, until a maximum "falling" temperature of 160 ° C. is reached.
- the mixture thus obtained is recovered, cooled, and sulfur and a sulfenamide type accelerator are incorporated on a mixer (homo-finisher) at 23 ° C., mixing the whole (productive phase) for a suitable time (for example between 5 hours). and 12 min).
- the compositions thus obtained are then calendered, either in the form of plates (with a thickness ranging from 2 to 3 mm) or thin rubber sheets, for the measurement of their physical or mechanical properties, or in the form of directly usable profiles, after cutting and / or assembly to the desired dimensions, for example as semi-finished products for tires, in particular for treads.
- the crosslinking is carried out at 150 ° C.
- the crosslinking time applied, t ' c (90) is the time required for the pair of the composition to reach 90% of the maximum torque of the composition.
- the torques of the com position are measured at 150 ° C with an oscillating chamber rheometer according to DIN 53529 - Part 3 (June 1983).
- t ' c (90) is determined according to standard NF T 43-015 for each of the compositions. From one composition to another, it varies from 20 to 40 minutes.
- compositions T1, T2, T3, A and B are described in Table I. All compositions contain a reinforcing inorganic filler, a silica.
- Tl contains neither blocked mercaptosilane of formula ( ⁇ ) nor 1,3-dipolar compound of formula (I).
- T2 and T3 contain a blocked mercaptosilane of formula (), but do not contain a 1,3-dipolar compound of formula (I).
- the compositions T1, T2 and T3 are not in accordance with the invention.
- a and B contain both a 1,3-dipolar compound of formula (I) and a blocked mercaptosilane of formula ( ⁇ ).
- a and B are in accordance with the invention.
- SBR SBR with 26% styrene and 25% 1,2 of the butadiene moiety
