Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はタイヤ用ゴム組成物に関し、とりわけ耐摩耗性およびグリップ性能を両立させ得るタイヤ用ゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、タイヤとくにトラック用タイヤのトレッドゴムにはビニル含量が10重量%以下のブタジエンゴムが用いられてきた。これは、ビニル含量が小さいブタジエンゴムはガラス転移温度(Tg)が低いので、耐摩耗性を改善することができるためであった。
【0003】
しかしながら、Tgの低いブタジエンゴムを配合したゴム組成物は、耐摩耗性はよいが、グリップ性能が低下するという問題があった。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、耐摩耗性およびグリップ性能を両立させ得るタイヤ用ゴム組成物を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記の問題を解決するために、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、特定のビニル含量を有するブタジエンゴムと天然ゴムまたはイソプレンゴムとをブレンドすることにより、耐摩耗性を改善することができるだけでなく、グリップ性能も改善し得ることがわかった。
【0006】
すなわち、本発明は、
ゴム成分として、ビニル含量が30〜40重量%、分子量分布が1〜1.3であり、数平均分子量が150000以上であるブタジエンゴム10〜90重量%、および天然ゴムまたはイソプレンゴム10〜90重量%のみが用いられてなるタイヤ用ゴム組成
関する。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のゴム組成物は、ゴム成分がブタジエンゴム(BR)と天然ゴム(NR)またはイソプレンゴム(IR)とからなる。
【0008】
前記BRとしては、赤外吸収スペクトル分析法によって測定されるビニル含量(1,2−結合ブタジエン単位量)が30〜40重量%のBRが用いられる。ビニル含量が30重量%未満では、BRとNRまたはIRとの相溶性が急激に低下し、40重量%をこえるとTgが高くなり、耐摩耗性が低下する。
【0009】
BRは、ゲルパーミエーション法(GPC)により測定される重量平均分子量(Mw)と数平均分子量(Mn)との比で求められる分子量分布(Mw/Mn)が、1〜1.3であることが好ましい。分子量分布が1.3をこえると耐摩耗性が低下する傾向がある。好ましくは、分子量分布の上限は1.2である。
【0010】
BRは、ゲルパーミエーション法(GPC)により測定した数平均分子量(Mn)が150000以上であることが好ましい。BRの数平均分子量が150000未満では耐摩耗性が低下する傾向がある。より好ましくは、数平均分子量の下限は180000である。
【0011】
前記BRは、たとえば、1,3−ブタジエンモノマーをtert−ブチルリチウムなどの有機リチウムとルイス塩基性化合物であるテトラメチレンジアミンを用いてアニオン重合したり、コバルト触媒を用いてアニオン重合することにより得られる。
【0012】
前記BRは、たとえば−90〜−60℃のTgを有する。
【0013】
このとき、重合溶媒としては、不活性な芳香族系炭化水素、脂肪族系炭化水素、脂環式炭化水素などがあげられる。具体的には、ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン、n−ヘキサン、n−ヘプタン、n−オクタン、シクロヘキサン、メチルシクロヘキサン、デカリンなどがあげられる。これらは単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。
【0014】
前記BRとNRまたはIRとの含有比率は、BRが10〜90重量%、すなわちNRまたはIRが90〜10重量%であることが好ましい。BRが10重量%未満では、すなわちNRまたはIRが90重量%をこえると、耐摩耗性が低下する傾向がある。BRが90重量%をこえると、すなわちNRまたはIRが10重量%未満では、充分なグリップ力が得られない傾向がある。
【0015】
本発明のゴム組成物は、さらに、補強用充填剤としてカーボンブラックを含むことができる。カーボンブラックとしては、チッ素吸着比表面積が30〜200m2/gのものが好ましく用いられる。チッ素吸着比表面積が30m2/g未満では補強効果が小さくなる傾向があり、200m2/gをこえると分散性が低下する傾向がある。
【0016】
カーボンブラックの含有量は、ゴム成分100重量部に対して20〜120重量部であることが好ましい。カーボンブラックの含有量が20重量部未満では補強性が小さくなる傾向があり、120重量部をこえると発熱性が増大する傾向がある。
【0017】
なお、本発明のゴム組成物には、前記ゴム成分、カーボンブラックのほかに、必要に応じて、シリカ、シランカップリング剤、軟化剤、老化防止剤、加硫剤、加硫促進剤、加硫促進助剤などの通常のゴム工業で使用される配合剤を適宜配合することができる。
【0018】
本発明のゴム組成物は、耐摩耗性およびグリップ性能ともに優れるものであり、タイヤトレッドゴムとくに重荷重タイヤのトレッドゴムとして適用される。
【0019】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber composition for tires, and more particularly to a rubber composition for tires that can achieve both wear resistance and grip performance.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, butadiene rubber having a vinyl content of 10% by weight or less has been used as a tread rubber for tires, particularly truck tires. This is because a butadiene rubber having a low vinyl content has a low glass transition temperature (Tg), and therefore can improve wear resistance.
[0003]
However, a rubber composition containing a butadiene rubber having a low Tg has good abrasion resistance, but has a problem that grip performance is lowered.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition for tires that can achieve both wear resistance and grip performance.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, as a result of intensive investigation, blending butadiene rubber having a specific vinyl content with natural rubber or isoprene rubber can not only improve wear resistance but also grip. It has been found that performance can also be improved.
[0006]
That is, the present invention
As rubber components, vinyl content is 30 to 40% by weight , molecular weight distribution is 1 to 1.3, butadiene rubber having a number average molecular weight of 150,000 or more , and natural rubber or isoprene rubber 10 to 90 % by weight. % only tire rubber composition comprising used
About the.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the rubber composition of the present invention, the rubber component is composed of butadiene rubber (BR) and natural rubber (NR) or isoprene rubber (IR).
[0008]
As the BR, BR having a vinyl content (1,2-bonded butadiene unit amount) measured by an infrared absorption spectrum analysis method of 30 to 40% by weight is used. If the vinyl content is less than 30% by weight, the compatibility between BR and NR or IR is drastically reduced, and if it exceeds 40% by weight, the Tg is increased and the wear resistance is lowered.
[0009]
As for BR, the molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) calculated | required by ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by a gel permeation method (GPC) is 1-1.3. Is preferred. When the molecular weight distribution exceeds 1.3, the wear resistance tends to decrease. Preferably, the upper limit of the molecular weight distribution is 1.2.
[0010]
As for BR, it is preferable that the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by the gel permeation method (GPC) is 150,000 or more. When the number average molecular weight of BR is less than 150,000, the wear resistance tends to decrease. More preferably, the lower limit of the number average molecular weight is 180,000.
[0011]
The BR is obtained, for example, by anionic polymerization of 1,3-butadiene monomer using organolithium such as tert-butyllithium and tetramethylenediamine which is a Lewis basic compound, or anionic polymerization using a cobalt catalyst. It is done.
[0012]
The BR has a Tg of −90 to −60 ° C., for example.
[0013]
In this case, examples of the polymerization solvent include inert aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and alicyclic hydrocarbons. Specific examples include benzene, toluene, xylene, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, decalin and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0014]
The content ratio of BR to NR or IR is preferably 10 to 90% by weight of BR, that is, 90 to 10% by weight of NR or IR. When BR is less than 10% by weight, that is, when NR or IR exceeds 90% by weight, the wear resistance tends to decrease. When BR exceeds 90% by weight, that is, when NR or IR is less than 10% by weight, sufficient grip strength tends not to be obtained.
[0015]
The rubber composition of the present invention can further contain carbon black as a reinforcing filler. Carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 30 to 200 m 2 / g is preferably used. If the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area is less than 30 m 2 / g, the reinforcing effect tends to be small, and if it exceeds 200 m 2 / g, the dispersibility tends to decrease.
[0016]
The carbon black content is preferably 20 to 120 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the rubber component. If the carbon black content is less than 20 parts by weight, the reinforcing property tends to be small, and if it exceeds 120 parts by weight, the exothermic property tends to increase.
[0017]
In addition to the rubber component and carbon black, the rubber composition of the present invention includes silica, silane coupling agent, softening agent, anti-aging agent, vulcanizing agent, vulcanization accelerator, A compounding agent used in a normal rubber industry such as a sulfur accelerator can be blended as appropriate.
[0018]
The rubber composition of the present invention is excellent in both wear resistance and grip performance, and is applied as a tire tread rubber, particularly as a tread rubber for heavy duty tires.
[0019]

The loss amount of each formulation was expressed as an index according to the following formula with the loss amount of Comparative Example 1 being 100 (Lambourn wear index). The larger the index, the better the wear resistance.
(Lambourn wear index) = (loss amount of Comparative Example 1) ÷ (loss amount of each formulation) × 100
[0033]

As E ″ increases, grip performance increases. Excellent. The smaller tan δ, the smaller the rolling resistance and the better.
[0034]
The results are shown in Table 2. As is clear from Table 2, the rubber composition using BR1 and BR2 having a vinyl content of 31% and 32.5% greatly improved the tensile properties, and as a result, the wear resistance was also improved. In addition, rolling resistance decreased and grip performance improved.
