Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the title composition which can fully exhibit a spike effect and is improved in frictional performances on ice by mixing a stock rubber with a specified amount of carbon black and a porous substance. CONSTITUTION:A rubber composition for tire tread excellent in ice skid performances is obtained by mixing 100 pts.wt. stock rubber (A) (natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber or a styrene/butadiene copolymer rubber of a styrene content of 0-28wt.%) with 40-90 pts.wt. carbon black (B) (usual one used for tread) and 4-30 pts.wt. porous substance (C) of a mean particle diameter <=2mm, desirably <=1mm, e.g. sponge, leather, porous hollow yarn or 'shirasu' balloon. The hardness of a mixture of A with B (matrix) after vulcanization should be 55-70/25 deg.C (JIS Hs).

Various proposals have been made to improve the braking and driving performance of such studless tires on ice. For example, JP-A-55-135149, JP-A-58-199203, JP-A-60-13794.
As disclosed in Publication No. 5, a method is known in which low-temperature properties are improved by lowering the hardness at low temperatures by using a rubber composition containing a large amount of softener or plasticizer in tread rubber. However, although the on-ice performance is improved when a large amount of softeners and plasticizers are blended, - the abrasion resistance in shipping lanes is significantly reduced, and the heat generation of the rubber is increased due to the large amount of softeners and plasticizers blended. There are drawbacks such as an increase in the number of tires and the tendency to cause separation while the tire is running. Also, JP-A-60-445
No. 38, JP-A No. 59-142236, and JP-A No. 53-133248 disclose methods in which high hardness rubber is blended and dispersed in a trend rubber composition, or inorganic particles or organic single fibers are blended into the trend rubber composition. A method has been disclosed in which the frictional force with the icy road surface is improved by dispersing the dispersed material, but in this case, the expected spike effect cannot be sufficiently exerted due to the lack of hardness of the dispersed material. It is also possible to foam the rubber composition itself by adding a commonly used foaming agent to the rubber composition itself, but this is also undesirable because it lowers the abrasion resistance.

Therefore, the present invention requires 40 to 90 parts by weight of carbon black and an average particle size of 2 m to 100 parts by weight of raw rubber.
The gist of the present invention is a rubber composition for tire trends, which contains 4 to 30 parts by weight of a porous material with a diameter of less than m.

以下、この手段につき詳しく説明する。This means will be explained in detail below.

(1)原料ゴム。(1) Raw rubber.

Ordinary rubber may be used (although not particularly limited, preferably natural rubber, polyisoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, polyisobutylene rubber, styrene-butylene rubber containing 0 to 28% by weight of styrene). Copolymer rubbers or blends thereof are used.

(2)  カーボンブラック。(2) Carbon black.

It is fine as long as it is used for normal treads.
The type is not limited. The blending amount of carbon black is 40 to 90 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the raw rubber. If it is less than 40 parts by weight, reinforcing properties will be poor and abrasion resistance will decrease. On the other hand, if it exceeds 90 parts by weight, heat generation will increase, which is not preferable.

(3)多孔質物質。(3) Porous materials.

The blending amount of the porous material is 4 to 30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the raw rubber. If the amount is less than 4 parts by weight, the frictional force on ice cannot be improved, while if it exceeds 30 parts by weight, the abrasion resistance will decrease.

The shape of this porous material is rod-like, cubic, granular, or similar, and the average particle size is 2 mm or less, preferably 1 mm or less. This is because if it exceeds 2n+n+, the wear resistance of the trend portion will be significantly reduced.

By the way, on an icy and snowy road surface, ice melts due to frictional heat generated when tires run, and a water film is constantly interposed between the tire tread surface and the ice, resulting in a significant decrease in frictional force. In order to increase the frictional force under such circumstances, it is necessary to remove the water film in a short time. When the rubber composition of the present invention is used in a tire tread, porous substances are mixed in the tread and are partially exposed on the tread surface, so the porous substances absorb the water film. The water film can be removed from the road surface in a short time. This increases the friction coefficient (mu) of the road surface.
