Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、タイヤの転動抵抗を悪化させずに湿潤路面でのグリップ性能(ウェットグリップ)を向上させたタイヤ用ゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ウェットグリップを上げるためには、路面の凹凸上をタイヤが移動するときのタイヤトレッドゴムの繰り返し変形に対応した周波数でトレッドゴムのヒステリシスロス(tanδ)を大きくする必要がある。また、タイヤの転動抵抗を低減するには(低燃費性の向上)、タイヤの回転速度に対応する周波数でトレッドゴムのヒステリシスロスを低下させることが必要である。粘弾性の温度−周波数換算則によれば、ウェットグリップは数10Hz の周波数で0℃付近の tanδと対応し、タイヤの転動抵抗は数10Hz の周波数で60℃付近の tanδと対応することになる。
【0003】
従来、ウェットグリップを向上させるために、ポリマーとして高スチレン含有率のスチレン−ブタジエン共重合ゴムを使用し、小粒子径カーボンブラックおよび石油系軟化剤を高充填することが一般に行われていた。しかし、このような配合では、数10Hz の周波数で0℃付近の tanδを上昇させるが、60℃付近の tanδも大きくなるためタイヤの転動抵抗を悪化させてしまう(転動抵抗が大きくなる)という点で問題があった。
【0004】
また、クマロンインデン樹脂を高グリップ性能が要求される競技用タイヤのトレッド部に使用することも一般に知られているが(特開昭62−1735号公報)、この場合、やはり転動抵抗が上昇してしまう。さらに、ロジン酸エステル誘導体をヒステリシスロスを高めるためにゴムに配合する技術も知られているが(特開昭60−99144号公報)、この場合も同様に転動抵抗を悪化させてしまう。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、タイヤの転動抵抗を悪化させることなくウエットグリップを向上させたタイヤ用ゴム組成物を提供することにある。このゴム組成物は、高運動性能を要求されるタイヤをはじめとし、低燃費性を重視したタイヤ、オールシーズンタイヤなどのトレッドに利用される。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、ジエン系ゴムに対し、下記(1)〜(3)の共重合体および下記(4)の水素添加物のうち少なくとも1種を配合してなることを特徴とする。
(1) α−ピネン−芳香族ビニル共重合体
(2) β−ピネン−芳香族ビニル共重合体
(3) α−ピネン、β−ピネン、ジペンテンからなる群のうち少なくとも2種と芳 香族ビニルとの共重合体
(4) 上記(1)〜(3)の共重合体の水素添加物。
このようにジエン系ゴムに対し特定の共重合体又は水素添加物を配合したため、上記目的の達成が可能となる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明で用いるジエン系ゴムとしては、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、天然ゴム(NR)、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(SBR)、イソプレンゴム(IR)、ブタジエンゴム(BR)、クロロプレンゴム(CR)アクリロニトリルブタジエンゴム(NBR)などの一般のジエン系ゴムを用いればよい。なかでもSBRを用いることが好ましい。
【0008】
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、α−ピネン又はβ−ピネンと芳香族ビニルとの共重合体((1)、(2))、α−ピネン、β−ピネン、ジペンテンからなる群のうち少なくとも2種と芳香族ビニルとの共重合体((3)、2元あるいは3元共重合体等)、これらの共重合体の水素添加物((4))のうち少なくとも1種を、ジエン系ゴムに対し配合してなる。その配合量は、ジエン系ゴム100重量部に対し3〜30重量部であるのがよい。3重量部未満では少なくすぎることになり、一方、30重量部を超えると多すぎて転動抵抗が悪化するからである。
【0009】
上記共重合体を構成する芳香族ビニルは、例えば、スチレン、α−メチルスチレンである。スチレンを用いるのが好ましい。
このようにしてなる本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、必要に応じてカーボンブラック、石油系軟化剤、可塑剤、硫黄などの加硫剤、加硫促進剤、加硫助剤、老化防止剤等を含有しても良い。

また、実施例1と実施例2から、ジエン系ゴムとしてNRよりもSBRを用いるのが好ましいことが判る。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber composition for tires that improves grip performance (wet grip) on wet road surfaces without deteriorating rolling resistance of the tire .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to increase the wet grip, it is necessary to increase the hysteresis loss (tan δ) of the tread rubber at a frequency corresponding to repeated deformation of the tire tread rubber when the tire moves on the road surface unevenness. Further, in order to reduce the rolling resistance of the tire (improvement of fuel efficiency), it is necessary to reduce the hysteresis loss of the tread rubber at a frequency corresponding to the rotation speed of the tire. According to the temperature-frequency conversion law of viscoelasticity, the wet grip corresponds to tan δ near 0 ° C. at a frequency of several tens of Hz, and the rolling resistance of the tire corresponds to tan δ near 60 ° C. at a frequency of several tens Hz. Become.
[0003]
Conventionally, in order to improve the wet grip, a styrene-butadiene copolymer rubber having a high styrene content is used as a polymer, and it is generally performed to highly charge a small particle diameter carbon black and a petroleum softener. However, with such a composition, tan δ near 0 ° C. is increased at a frequency of several tens of Hz, but tan δ near 60 ° C. also increases, so that the rolling resistance of the tire is deteriorated (the rolling resistance increases). There was a problem in that.
[0004]
In addition, it is generally known that coumarone indene resin is used for a tread portion of a racing tire that requires high grip performance (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Sho 62-1735). It will rise. Furthermore, a technique for blending a rosin acid ester derivative with rubber in order to increase hysteresis loss is also known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-99144), but in this case, the rolling resistance is similarly deteriorated.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a tire rubber composition having an improved wet grip without deteriorating the rolling resistance of the tire . This rubber composition is used for treads such as tires that require high motor performance, tires that emphasize low fuel consumption, and all-season tires.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The rubber composition for tires of the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the following (1) to (3) copolymers and the following (4) hydrogenated product is blended with the diene rubber. And
(1) α-Pinene-aromatic vinyl copolymer
(2) β-pinene-aromatic vinyl copolymer
(3) Copolymer of aromatic vinyl and at least two kinds selected from the group consisting of α-pinene, β-pinene and dipentene
(4) A hydrogenated product of the copolymer of the above (1) to (3).
As described above, since the specific copolymer or hydrogenated product is blended with the diene rubber, the above object can be achieved.

The rubber composition for tires of the present invention is α-pinene or a copolymer of β-pinene and aromatic vinyl ((1), (2)), α-pinene, β-pinene, dipentene At least one of copolymers of at least two kinds and aromatic vinyl ((3), binary or ternary copolymer, etc.) and hydrogenated products of these copolymers ((4)) are converted to diene. It is blended with rubber. The blending amount is preferably 3 to 30 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber. If the amount is less than 3 parts by weight, the amount is too small. On the other hand, if the amount exceeds 30 parts by weight, the amount is too large and rolling resistance deteriorates.
[0009]
The aromatic vinyl constituting the copolymer is, for example, styrene or α-methylstyrene. Styrene is preferably used.
The rubber composition for tires of the present invention thus formed is vulcanized as necessary, such as carbon black, petroleum softener, plasticizer, sulfur, vulcanization accelerator, vulcanization aid, anti-aging agent. Etc. may be contained.
