Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物に関し、更に詳しくは未加硫時の加工性を改良した、加硫可能なシリカ配合タイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物に関する。本発明のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物は、例えばキャップトレッド、サイドトレッド及びアンダートレッド用として有用である。なお、ここで「シリカ」とは含水ケイ酸又は無水ケイ酸のことであり、ゴム用として用いられる窒素比表面積が50〜300m2 /gのものをいい、また、「加硫」とは、硫黄や過酸化物などによる架橋を含むものとする。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
各種ゴムにシリカを配合したゴム組成物は知られており、例えば低発熱性で耐摩耗性などに優れたタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物として使用されている。しかしながら、シリカを配合したタイヤトレッドは低転動抵抗で湿潤路のグリップ性は良いが未加硫配合物の粘度上昇、加硫遅延、混合まとまりの低下などが起り、生産性が悪化するという問題があった。特に、単純にシリカ及びカーボンを同時に混合した場合、カーボンとゴムは充分な接触及び反応が起こり充分な混合を促進するがシリカとは充分ではなく、シリカの分散不良を引き起こし充分なシリカの特性が生かされなかった。かかる問題を解決すべく、従来から種々の提案があるが、いずれも実用上満足のいくものとは言えないのが実情である。
【0003】
例えば、ジエチレングリコールや脂肪酸を添加したり(例えばゴム工業便覧〈第四版〉,517〜518頁,平成6年発行参照)、カルボン酸金属塩を添加したり(例えばTire Technology International 1995,107〜108頁参照)、シリカを予じめシリコーンオイルで処理したり(例えば特開平6−248116号公報参照)することなどが提案されているが、いずれも実用上充分な方法とは言えない。更に、混合時の焼け発生やまとまりの低下に対しては、混合回数を増加するなどの方法をとる以外に方法が無く、また、カーボンとシリカを混合する場合にも、別々に混合するか、もしくは混合時間や混合回数を長くしているのが実状である。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は前述の従来技術の問題点を排除して、シリカ配合加硫性ゴム組成物の特性、例えば低発熱性や耐摩耗性などの特性を実質的に損なうことなく、未加硫ゴム組成物の加工性を改良したシリカ配合加硫性タイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物を提供することにある。

更に、本発明の好ましい態様に従えば、前記ゴム組成物を、加硫系を除いて120℃〜200℃にて同時工程で混合したタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物が提供される。
【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の構成及び作用効果について詳しく説明する。
前述の如く、シリカを配合したタイヤトレッドの加硫物性は良好であるが、未加硫時の加工性に劣るという欠点があった。本発明者らの知見によれば、これはシリカ表面に存在するシラノール基(≡Si−OH)に起因し、シラノール基の凝集力によりゴム組成物中で構造体が生成して粘度が上昇したり、シラノール基の極性により加硫促進剤などが吸着されて加硫が遅延したり、非極性ゴムとの相溶性が十分でないために混合のまとまりが低下したりする現象のために未加硫組成物の加工性が低下する。更に、シリカ配合ゴム組成物には、ゴムへの補強のために、シランカップリング剤が併用されることが多いが、シリカ粒子の内腔にもシラノール基が存在し、これがシランカップリング剤と反応してシランカップリング剤を損失させ、補強効果が低下するため多量のシランカップリング剤を配合しなければならないという問題があった。従来技術におけるように、これにジエチレングリコールなどの極性物質を更に配合すると、加硫促進剤などの極性配合剤が吸着される現象はある程度防止できるが、完全には防止できず、シランカップリング剤などのシリカ粒子と化学結合する物質が内腔に結合するのを防止することもできなかった。
【0021】
本発明に従ってゴム組成物中に配合される前記式( VI のアルコキシシランが縮合したポリシロキサンは、前述のごとくシラノール基と反応するアルコキシシリル基を有し、シラノール表面を覆って疎水性にする役割を果たす。従って、本発明において使用されるポリシロキサンにおいて、アルコキシシリル基および疎水基が必須であり、しかも、シロキサン単位としては2以上のものが50重量%以上含まれることが好ましく、さらには平均重合度が5〜40とするのが好ましい。疎水基としては前記式( VI に示したメチルが原料的に入手可能であり、これらのアルコキシシランを60重量%以上含有することが必要である。
【0022】
かかるポリシロキサンの合成法は公知であり(伊藤邦雄編、シリコーンハンドブック、日刊工業新聞、P.163, 1990 年、Walter Noll, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones Academic Press, P.197, 1968、特開平6−20031号公報参照)、例えば前記式( VI のアルコキシシランを酸、または塩基を触媒として加水分解、縮合することにより容易に合成される。1分子中に3つのアルコキシを有する場合(即ち、式( VI )においてn=3)には、分子量を上げすぎると縮合中にゲル化する。また、ジアルコキシシランだけでは分子末端にのみにアルコキシシリル基がくるのでシリカとの反応の点で不利である。従って、トリアルコキシシランが10重量%以上含有することが好ましい。共重合させるその他のアルコキシシラン、下記の表Iに掲げたようなものを40重量%以下の範囲で使用しても良い。
【0023】

【0024】
更に、シリカとゴムをより効果的に結合させるためには、表IIに示したシランカップリング剤を40重量%以下、特に20重量%以下の範囲で共重合させるのが好ましい。
以上のように合成したアルコキシシリル基含有ポリシロキサンはシリカ配合量の2〜20重量%、好ましくは2〜8重量%である。配合量が少なすぎると、所望の効果が得られず、多すぎるとシリカと結合しない該物質が加硫物からしみだす場合があり好ましくない。

本発明において使用するジエン系ゴムとしては、従来から各種ゴム組成物に一般的に配合されている任意のジエン系ゴム、例えば天然ゴム(NR)、ポリイソプレンゴム(IR)、各種スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(SBR)、各種ポリブタジエンゴム(BR)、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(NBR)、ブチルゴム(IIR)などをあけることができる。これらのジエン系ゴムは単独又は任意のブレンドとして使用することができる。なお、これらのジエン系ゴムは、少量成分としてエチレン−プロピレン共重合体ゴム(EPR,EPDM)などとブレンドして使用することもできる。

【0029】
上記ポリシロキサンは、ゴムとシリカを混合する工程で投入することが、その役割から考慮して好ましい。より好ましくは、上記ポリシロキサンはシランカップリング剤を投入すると同時、またはシランカップリング剤を投入する前に投入する。混練温度としては120℃〜200℃、特に140℃〜180℃であることが好ましい、120℃よりも低い温度ではシリカのシラノールと上記ポリシロキサンの反応が遅く、加工性を改良することができない。また、200℃以上では、焼けを生ずるので好ましくない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire tread, and more particularly to a rubber composition for a vulcanizable silica compound tire tread having improved processability when unvulcanized. The rubber composition for tire treads of the present invention is useful for, for example, cap treads, side treads, and undertreads. Here, “silica” is hydrous silicic acid or anhydrous silicic acid, which has a nitrogen specific surface area of 50 to 300 m 2 / g used for rubber, and “vulcanization” Including cross-linking by sulfur or peroxide.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A rubber composition in which silica is blended with various rubbers is known. For example, it is used as a rubber composition for a tire tread having low heat build-up and excellent wear resistance. However, the tire tread compounded with silica has low rolling resistance and good wet road grip, but the viscosity of the unvulcanized compound increases, the vulcanization delay, the mixing mix decreases, and the productivity deteriorates. was there. In particular, when silica and carbon are simply mixed at the same time, the carbon and rubber are sufficiently contacted and reacted to promote sufficient mixing, but the silica is not sufficient, causing poor silica dispersion and sufficient silica properties. It was not alive. Various proposals have heretofore been made to solve this problem, but none of them are satisfactory in practice.
[0003]
For example, diethylene glycol or fatty acid is added (for example, see Rubber Industry Handbook <Fourth Edition>, pages 517 to 518, published in 1994), or a metal salt of carboxylic acid is added (for example, Tire Technology International 1995, 107 to 108). It has been proposed to treat silica with a silicone oil in advance (see, for example, JP-A-6-248116), but none of them is a practically sufficient method. Furthermore, there is no method other than taking a method such as increasing the number of times of mixing for the occurrence of scorch or mixing at the time of mixing, and also when mixing carbon and silica, mixing separately, Alternatively, the actual condition is that the mixing time and the number of times of mixing are increased.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, without substantially impairing the characteristics of the silica-containing vulcanizable rubber composition, such as characteristics such as low heat buildup and wear resistance. An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition for a silica-containing vulcanizable tire tread having improved processability of the vulcanized rubber composition.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber, 5 to 80 parts by weight of silica, and 60% by weight or more of an alkoxysilane represented by the following formula ( VI ) and 40% by weight or less of a sulfur-containing silane coupling agent are cohydrolyzed. A rubber composition for a tire tread comprising a polysiloxane obtained by condensation is provided.

[0014]
(In the formula, Me represents a methyl group, R 2 represents a methyl group or an ethyl group, R 3 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 100, and m is 0 or an integer of 1 to 10.)
[0015]
According to the present invention, the rubber and the silica can be more effectively bonded to the polysiloxane not only by the alkoxysilyl group bonded to the silanol on the silica surface but also by the functional group chemically bonded to the rubber in advance. .
[0016]
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a rubber composition for a tire tread comprising a rubber and a vulcanizable silane coupling agent blended in an amount of 0.5 to 20% by weight based on the amount of silica.
[0017]
Moreover, according to the preferable aspect of this invention, the rubber composition for tire treads which mix | blends the said polysiloxane 2 to 20weight% of a silica compounding quantity is provided.
[0018]
Furthermore, according to the preferable aspect of this invention, the rubber composition for tire treads which contains 1-10 weight% of diethylene glycol to the said rubber composition in the silica compounding quantity is provided.
[0019]
Furthermore, according to the preferable aspect of this invention, the rubber composition for tire treads which mixed the said rubber composition by the simultaneous process at 120 to 200 degreeC except the vulcanization system is provided.
[0020]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the configuration and operational effects of the present invention will be described in detail.
As described above, the tire tread compounded with silica has good vulcanized physical properties, but has the disadvantage of poor processability when unvulcanized. According to the knowledge of the present inventors, this is caused by silanol groups (≡Si—OH) present on the silica surface, and a structure is generated in the rubber composition due to the cohesive force of the silanol groups, resulting in an increase in viscosity. Or vulcanization accelerators are adsorbed due to the polarity of the silanol group, and the vulcanization is delayed, or because of poor compatibility with non-polar rubbers, the unmixed state is reduced. The processability of the composition is reduced. Furthermore, in the silica compounded rubber composition, a silane coupling agent is often used in combination for reinforcing the rubber, but silanol groups are also present in the inner cavities of the silica particles. There was a problem that a large amount of the silane coupling agent had to be blended because the silane coupling agent was lost by reaction and the reinforcing effect was lowered. As in the prior art, when a polar substance such as diethylene glycol is further added to this, the phenomenon that a polar compounding agent such as a vulcanization accelerator is adsorbed can be prevented to some extent, but cannot be completely prevented, such as a silane coupling agent. It was also impossible to prevent substances that chemically bond to the silica particles from binding to the lumen.
[0021]
The polysiloxane condensed with the alkoxysilane of the formula ( VI ) blended in the rubber composition according to the present invention has an alkoxysilyl group that reacts with the silanol group as described above, and covers the silanol surface to make it hydrophobic. Play a role. Accordingly, in the polysiloxane used in the present invention, an alkoxysilyl group and a hydrophobic group are essential, and it is preferable that 50% by weight or more of siloxane units are contained, and the average degree of polymerization is further increased. It is preferable to set it as 5-40. As the hydrophobic group, methyl represented by the formula ( VI ) is available as a raw material, and it is necessary to contain 60% by weight or more of these alkoxysilanes.
[0022]
Methods for synthesizing such polysiloxanes are known (Kunio Ito, Silicone Handbook, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, P.163, 1990, Walter Noll, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones Academic Press, P.197, 1968, JP-A-6- For example, it is easily synthesized by hydrolyzing and condensing the alkoxysilane of the formula ( VI ) using an acid or a base as a catalyst. When there are three alkoxy groups in one molecule (ie, n = 3 in the formula ( VI )), if the molecular weight is increased too much, gelation occurs during condensation. Further, dialkoxysilane alone is disadvantageous in terms of reaction with silica because an alkoxysilyl group is formed only at the molecular end. Accordingly, the trialkoxysilane is preferably contained in an amount of 10% by weight or more. Other alkoxysilanes to be copolymerized, such as those listed in Table I below, may be used in the range of 40% by weight or less.
[0023]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004036519
[0024]
Furthermore, in order to bind silica and rubber more effectively, it is preferable to copolymerize the silane coupling agent shown in Table II in a range of 40% by weight or less, particularly 20% by weight or less.
The alkoxysilyl group-containing polysiloxane synthesized as described above is 2 to 20% by weight, preferably 2 to 8% by weight, based on the amount of silica. If the amount is too small, the desired effect cannot be obtained, and if it is too large, the substance that does not bind to silica may ooze out from the vulcanizate.
[0025]
Examples of the diene rubber used in the present invention include any diene rubber generally blended in various rubber compositions, such as natural rubber (NR), polyisoprene rubber (IR), and various styrene-butadiene copolymers. Polymer rubber (SBR), various polybutadiene rubbers (BR), acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR) and the like can be opened. These diene rubbers can be used alone or as any blend. These diene rubbers can be blended with ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber (EPR, EPDM) or the like as a minor component.
[0026]
Typical examples of the silane coupling agent used in the preferred embodiment of the present invention include those shown in Table II below.
[0027]
[Table 2]
Figure 0004036519
[0028]
The vulcanizable silane coupling agent according to the present invention is 0.5 to 20% by weight, preferably 2 to 8% by weight, based on the amount of silica. If the amount is too small, the desired effect cannot be obtained, and if it is too large, burning (scorch) tends to occur in the mixing and extrusion process, which is not preferable.
[0029]
The polysiloxane is preferably introduced in the process of mixing rubber and silica in view of its role. More preferably, the polysiloxane is added simultaneously with the introduction of the silane coupling agent or before the introduction of the silane coupling agent. The kneading temperature is preferably 120 ° C. to 200 ° C., and particularly preferably 140 ° C. to 180 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 120 ° C., the reaction between the silanol of silica and the polysiloxane is slow, and the processability cannot be improved. Further, if it is 200 ° C. or higher, it is not preferable because it causes burning.
[0030]
