Description
本発明は、ゴム硬度および低発熱性を両立し、耐疲労性、耐オゾン性および耐熱老化性を優れたタイヤ用ゴム組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a rubber composition for tires that has both rubber hardness and low heat build-up, and has excellent fatigue resistance, ozone resistance, and heat aging resistance.
環境負荷低減のために、タイヤの軽量化、低発熱性化が特に求められている。例えば、ガラス転移温度(Tg)が低いゴム成分を配合してゴムの損失正接(tanδ)の挙動を変化させる手法が知られている(例えば特許文献1,2を参照)。Tgが低いゴム成分としてブタジエンゴムが挙げられる。ブタジエンゴムには、Tgが低いことに加え、疲労特性を高くするという特徴があるが、ブタジエンゴムを含有するゴム組成物による改良手法では、ゴム硬度および低発熱性をバランスさせながら、耐オゾン性および耐熱老化性をより優れたものにするのに限界があった。 In order to reduce the environmental burden, there is a particular need for tires to be lighter and generate less heat. For example, a method is known in which a rubber component having a low glass transition temperature (Tg) is blended to change the behavior of the loss tangent (tan δ) of the rubber (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Butadiene rubber is an example of a rubber component having a low Tg. In addition to having a low Tg, butadiene rubber has the characteristics of high fatigue properties. However, in an improvement method using a rubber composition containing butadiene rubber, it is possible to balance rubber hardness and low heat build-up while improving ozone resistance. Also, there were limitations in improving heat aging resistance.
しかし、近年、ゴム硬度および低発熱性を両立させてタイヤの軽量化を実現すると共に、耐疲労性、耐オゾン性および耐熱老化性をより優れたものにする要求がより高くなっており、低Tgのブタジエンゴムに頼る配合手法以外で上述した課題を解決するタイヤ用ゴム組成物を開発することが求められていた。 However, in recent years, there has been an increasing demand for tires to be lightweight by achieving both rubber hardness and low heat build-up, as well as better fatigue resistance, ozone resistance, and heat aging resistance. There has been a need to develop a rubber composition for tires that solves the above-mentioned problems using a compounding method other than relying on butadiene rubber of Tg.
本発明の目的は、ゴム硬度および低発熱性を両立しながら、耐疲労性、耐オゾン性および耐熱老化性を従来レベル以上に優れたものにするタイヤ用ゴム組成物を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition for tires that has both rubber hardness and low heat build-up, and has fatigue resistance, ozone resistance, and heat aging resistance that are superior to conventional levels.

If the isoprene rubber content is less than 20% by mass, the effect of improving processability cannot be sufficiently obtained. Moreover, if it exceeds 70% by mass, the effect of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer cannot be sufficiently obtained.

芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン重合体を水素添加(水添)する反応の方法及び条件は、所望の水添率が得られるのであれば、特に制限されるものではない。芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン重合体の水添方法の例としては、チタンの有機金属化合物を主成分とする触媒を水添触媒として使用する方法、鉄、ニッケル、コバルトの有機化合物とアルキルアルミニウム等の有機金属化合物からなる触媒を使用する方法、ルテニウム、ロジウム等の有機金属化合物の有機錯体を使用する方法、パラジウム、白金、ルテニウム、コバルト、ニッケル等の金属を、カーボン、シリカ、アルミナ等の担体に担持した触媒を使用する方法などがある。 The reaction method and conditions for hydrogenating the aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene polymer are not particularly limited as long as a desired hydrogenation rate can be obtained.

There are methods that use supported catalysts.
水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体は、重量平均分子量が20万以上、好ましくは20万~70万、より好ましくは30万~60万である。水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体の重量平均分子量が20万以上であると、ゴム組成物のゴム硬度や引張破断強度を高くすることができる。また、重量平均分子量を70万以下にすると、タイヤ用ゴム組成物の粘度上昇が抑えられ加工性と強度を両立できるので好ましい。本明細書において、水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体の重量平均分子量は、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィ(GPC)によって測定されるポリスチレン換算の値とすることができる。 The hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 or more, preferably 200,000 to 700,000, more preferably 300,000 to 600,000. When the weight average molecular weight of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer is 200,000 or more, the rubber hardness and tensile strength at break of the rubber composition can be increased. Furthermore, it is preferable that the weight average molecular weight is 700,000 or less, since this suppresses the increase in viscosity of the rubber composition for tires and achieves both processability and strength. In this specification, the weight average molecular weight of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer can be a polystyrene equivalent value measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体は、ガラス転移温度が-40℃以下、好ましくは-80℃~-40℃、より好ましくは-75℃~-50℃である。水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体のガラス転移温度が-40℃以下であると、寒冷地での使用においても柔軟性を十分に確保することができる。また、ガラス転移温度を-80℃以上にすると、硬度と柔軟性のバランスに優れたゴム組成物にすることができる。本明細書において、ガラス転移温度は、示差走査熱量測定(DSC)により20℃/分の昇温速度条件によりサーモグラムを測定し、転移域の中点の温度とすることができる。 The hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer has a glass transition temperature of -40°C or lower, preferably -80°C to -40°C, more preferably -75°C to -50°C. When the glass transition temperature of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer is −40° C. or lower, sufficient flexibility can be ensured even when used in cold regions. Furthermore, when the glass transition temperature is set to -80°C or higher, a rubber composition with an excellent balance between hardness and flexibility can be obtained. In this specification, the glass transition temperature can be determined by measuring a thermogram using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at a heating rate of 20° C./min, and can be defined as the temperature at the midpoint of the transition region.
水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体は、水素添加率(水添率)が60%以上、好ましくは60~90%、より好ましくは60~80%である。水添率が60%未満であると、耐オゾン性が悪化する。また、ゴム硬度および低発熱性を両立しながら、耐疲労性および耐熱老化を改良することができない。さらに、引張破断強度も十分には得られない。水添率を100%未満にすることにより、水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体に架橋性を付与することができる。本明細書において、水添率は、芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体が有する共役ジエン部分において、水素添加する前の炭素-炭素二重結合部の合計100%に対する、水素添加された炭素-炭素結合部の百分率(%)をいう。水添率が100%であるとき、共役ジエン部分の炭素-炭素二重結合が完全に水素添加されたことを意味する。なお、水添率は、1H-NMRを測定して得られたスペクトルの共役ジエン部分における不飽和結合部のスペクトル減少率から計算することができる。 The hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer has a hydrogenation rate (hydrogenation rate) of 60% or more, preferably 60 to 90%, more preferably 60 to 80%. If the hydrogenation rate is less than 60%, ozone resistance will deteriorate. Further, it is not possible to improve fatigue resistance and heat aging resistance while achieving both rubber hardness and low heat build-up. Furthermore, sufficient tensile strength at break cannot be obtained. By setting the hydrogenation rate to less than 100%, crosslinking properties can be imparted to the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer. In the present specification, the hydrogenation rate refers to the hydrogenated carbon- It refers to the percentage (%) of carbon bonding parts. When the hydrogenation rate is 100%, it means that the carbon-carbon double bonds of the conjugated diene moiety are completely hydrogenated. Note that the hydrogenation rate can be calculated from the spectral reduction rate of the unsaturated bond in the conjugated diene portion of the spectrum obtained by measuring 1 H-NMR.

前記式(1)中、Vnは水素添加前の芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体において、共役ジエン部分中のビニル量(質量%)を表す。すなわち、水素添加前の共役ジエン部分は、シス-1,4結合、トランス-1,4結合および1,2-結合等の繰り返し単位からなり、ビニル量(質量%)は、これらの合計100質量%中の1,2-結合の百分率(質量%)をいう。共役ジエン部分のビニル量(質量%)は1H-NMRにより測定することができる。 In the formula (1), Vn represents the amount of vinyl in the conjugated diene moiety (% by mass) in the aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer before hydrogenation. That is, the conjugated diene moiety before hydrogenation consists of repeating units such as cis-1,4 bonds, trans-1,4 bonds, and 1,2-bonds, and the vinyl content (mass%) is 100% by mass in total. It refers to the percentage (mass%) of 1,2-bonds in %. The amount of vinyl in the conjugated diene moiety (% by mass) can be measured by 1 H-NMR.
前記式(1)中、Hは共役ジエン部分における水添率(%)を表す。水添率(%)については、上述したとおりである。 In the formula (1), H represents the hydrogenation rate (%) in the conjugated diene moiety. The hydrogenation rate (%) is as described above.
前記式(1)は、水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体の疲労特性試験の結果と、水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体のスチレン量St、ビニル量Vn、および水添率Hの関係について、重回帰分析を行って得られた関係式である。本発明において、前記式(1)で表される疲労指数は100超、好ましくは150超、より好ましくは200超である。疲労指数が100以下であると、疲労特性が十分に得られない。 The above formula (1) is based on the results of the fatigue property test of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer, the amount of styrene St, the amount of vinyl Vn, and the hydrogenation rate of the hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer. This is a relational expression obtained by performing multiple regression analysis regarding the relationship of H. In the present invention, the fatigue index represented by the above formula (1) is over 100, preferably over 150, and more preferably over 200. If the fatigue index is less than 100, sufficient fatigue properties cannot be obtained.

By containing 30% by mass or more of a hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer, it is sure to achieve both rubber hardness and low heat build-up, as well as excellent fatigue resistance, ozone resistance, and heat aging resistance. It becomes more unique. It is also preferable because the tensile strength at break becomes large, and when it is made into a tire, the wear resistance can be improved.
タイヤ用ゴム組成物は、イソプレン系ゴムおよび水添芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体以外の他のジエン系ゴムを含むことができる。他のジエン系ゴムとして、例えば水素添加していない芳香族ビニル-共役ジエン共重合体(スチレンブタジエンゴム)、ブタジエンゴム、ブチルゴム、ハロゲン化ブチルゴム、アクリロニトリル-ブタジエンゴム、等を例示することができる。これら他のジエン系ゴムは、官能基を有する変性ジエン系ゴムであってもよく、単独又は任意のブレンドとして使用することができる。他のジエン系ゴムの含有量は、ジエン系ゴム100質量%中、好ましくは0~40質量%、より好ましくは0~30質量%であるとよい。 The rubber composition for tires can contain diene rubber other than isoprene rubber and hydrogenated aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer.

Carbon black is blended in an amount of 20 to 80 parts by weight, preferably 25 to 75 parts by weight, more preferably 30 to 70 parts by weight, to 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber. If the amount of carbon black is less than 20 parts by mass, the rubber composition will have insufficient rubber strength and rubber hardness, and when made into a tire, sufficient steering stability and wear resistance will not be obtained. Moreover, if carbon black exceeds 80 parts by mass, heat generation cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
カーボンブラックの窒素吸着比表面積は、30~100m2/g、好ましくは30~80m2/g、より好ましくは30~75m2/gである。窒素吸着比表面積が30m2/g未満であると、ゴム組成物のゴム強度やゴム硬度が不足する。100m2/gを超えると、発熱性を十分に抑制することができない。本明細書において、カーボンブラックの窒素吸着比表面積は、JIS K6217-2に準拠して、測定することができる。 The nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of carbon black is 30 to 100 m 2 /g, preferably 30 to 80 m 2 /g, more preferably 30 to 75 m 2 /g.

各実施例において、(熱老化後のゴム硬度)/(ゴム硬度の初期値)×100の値を算出し、「老化硬度(%)」の欄に記載した。この値が小さいほど、熱老化によるゴムの硬化が抑制され優れていることを意味する。
Aging Hardness The value of the rubber hardness at 23° C. is the initial value of the rubber hardness of each example.
An evaluation sample of a tire rubber composition was subjected to heat aging treatment at 70° C. for 168 hours, and the rubber hardness of the treated evaluation sample at 23° C. was measured in the same manner as above, and was taken as the rubber hardness after heat aging.
In each example, the value of (rubber hardness after heat aging)/(initial value of rubber hardness) x 100 was calculated and recorded in the column of "aging hardness (%)". The smaller this value is, the better the rubber hardening caused by heat aging is suppressed.
