The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire tread, and more particularly, to a rubber composition that is optimal for a tread rubber having high hardness, high fatigue fracture resistance, and high elongation at break.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, pneumatic tires with improved wear resistance / uneven wear and the like, and radial tire tread rubber compositions for heavy loads are known from JP-A-5-51942 and JP-A-7-109381, etc. On the other hand, with respect to stabilization of a polymer by a stabilized free radical, a rubber composition using a free radical compound containing the stabilized radical, and a rubber composition containing a predetermined amount of a free radical compound having an isocyanate group, etc. JP-A-8-289510, JP-A-10-182881, JP-A-11-43557, and the like. However, in the former technique, although there is a certain effect on the uneven wear improvement and wear resistance by increasing the hardness, it is insufficient for both the initial high fatigue resistance / high break elongation, There was also no recognition that the latter combination of free radical compounds improved such technical problems of tire tread rubber.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in the present invention, by adding a specific amount of a specific stabilized free radical compound to a specific blend rubber, the hardness is increased (improved uneven wear resistance), and the fatigue fracture resistance is improved and the elongation at break is maintained. It aims at providing the rubber composition for tire tread which aimed at.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, a natural rubber and a butadiene rubber, a natural rubber and a styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber, or a diene blend rubber of a natural rubber, a butadiene rubber, and a styrene-butadiene rubber, the butadiene rubber in the blend rubber, styrene- For each 100 parts by weight of butadiene copolymer rubber, or 100 parts by weight of rubber where the total amount of butadiene rubber and styrene butadiene rubber is 20 to 50 parts by weight, the following formula (1):

[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a rubber composition optimum for a tread rubber having high hardness-high fatigue fracture resistance / high elongation at break. In particular, when a high-hardness cap tread is used to prevent uneven wear of traction pattern tires with deep grooves, fatigue resistance and elongation at break tend to decrease, cracks occurring at low grooves, chipping, etc. It is easy to cause problems. In the present invention, as a method for solving such a problem, a nitroxide radical compound (TDI-TEMPO) having one isocyanate group in the molecule with respect to NR / BR, NR / SBR or NR / BR / SBR type tread rubber. It has been found that, by blending, the rubber can be increased in hardness (improved uneven wear resistance), while improving fatigue fracture resistance (improving groove bottom crack resistance) and maintaining elongation at break (maintaining chipping resistance). It is a thing.
[0007]
As a rubber component blended in the rubber composition for a tire tread according to the present invention, natural rubber (NR) / butadiene rubber (BR), natural rubber (NR) / styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber (SBR) or natural rubber (NR) / Butadiene rubber (BR) / Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) diene blend rubber, in which the BR, SBR, or the total of BR and SBR components in 100 parts by weight of the blend rubber is 20 to 50 weights. A rubber blended so as to be a part is used. When each BR, SBR, or the sum of BR and SBR components blended in 100 parts by weight of each blend rubber is less than 20 parts by weight, a rubber composition having a desired hardness cannot be obtained. When the amount exceeds 50 parts by weight, the hardness of the rubber is too high and lacks flexibility, and the desired fatigue fracture resistance and elongation at break cannot be obtained.
[0008]
As a nitroxide radical compound having one isocyanate group in the molecule as a compounding agent blended in the rubber composition for a tire tread of the present invention, a compound represented by the following general formula (1) (TDI-TEMPO) Is effectively used.
[Chemical 3]
Figure 2005036083
[0009]
The compounding agent is used by blending 0.01 to 0.5 parts by weight, preferably 0.03 to 0.3 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the blend rubber. If the blending amount is less than 0.01 parts by weight, desired tensile strength and elongation at break cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 0.5 parts by weight, high fracture elongation and high fatigue fracture resistance cannot be obtained. .
[0010]
In the tire tread rubber composition of the present invention, in addition to the above-described essential compounding components, reinforcing agents such as carbon black and silica, vulcanization or vulcanization accelerators, crosslinking, etc., which are generally compounded in this type of tread rubber Alternatively, various compounding agents and additives such as crosslinking accelerators, various oils, anti-aging agents, fillers, softeners and plasticizers can be blended, and these blending agents can also be blended and vulcanized by a general method. It can be set as a rubber composition. The compounding amounts of these compounding agents and additives can be set to conventional general compounding amounts as long as the object of the present invention is not violated.
[0011]
The rubber composition for tire treads of the present invention is also suitable as a rubber composition for tire treads for heavy loads that have particularly deep grooves and require high fatigue resistance.

The accelerator and sulfur were kneaded with an 8-inch open roll to obtain a rubber composition. Next, this rubber composition was press-vulcanized at 160 ° C. for 20 minutes in a 15 cm × 15 cm × 0.2 cm mold to obtain a test piece (rubber sheet), which was subjected to the following tests.
