Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve frictional function on ice without sacrificing antifrictional characteristic by forming a tread part out of rubber composition which includes a water soluble inorganic compound, and in which the particles of the water soluble inorganic compound do not practically come into contact with each other. CONSTITUTION:The tread part of a pneumatic tire is formed out of specific rubber composition. The specific rubber composition includes a water soluble inorganic compound, and the particles thereof do not practically come into contact with each other. Since the water soluble inorganic compound of a tread surface dissolves in the water on a road surface at the time of running on a frozen road surface, and an unevenness is formed on the tread surface thereby, frictional function on ice can be improved. Since the water soluble inorganic compound in the tread is not dissolved, the tread part will not be in a foaming condition, and antifrictional characteristic is not practically sacrificed.

Conventionally, in order to enable safe driving on such road surfaces, tire treads have been made of, for example, a rubber material that is soft even at low temperatures, or a foamed rubber material. However, in this case, there is a problem that the wear resistance is poor. It has also been proposed to mix sand into the tread of tires (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 61-15080

In this way, in the present invention, the tread portion of the tire is made of a rubber composition containing a water-soluble inorganic compound in a state where the particles are not substantially in contact with each other. The inorganic compound dissolves into water on the road surface, forming irregularities on the tread surface, thereby improving friction performance on ice. Further, since the water-soluble inorganic compound inside the tread portion does not dissolve, the tread portion does not become foamed, so that wear resistance is not substantially impaired. Furthermore, since the eluted water-soluble inorganic compound does not become dust and scatter, no pollution problem occurs.

The rubber composition used in the present invention contains this water-soluble inorganic compound. Particles of this water-soluble inorganic compound are not substantially in contact with each other within the rubber composition. That is, the individual particles of the water-soluble inorganic compound are substantially independently dispersed within the rubber composition. If the particles are not dispersed in this way, that is, if the particles are in contact with each other, then when the rubber composition forms the tread of a tire and the tire is driven on an icy road surface, the water solution inside the tread will be removed. This is because even the organic inorganic compounds are leached out, creating communicating pores from the tread surface to the inside, and the tread becomes foamed to the inside, impairing wear resistance.

In order to disperse the individual particles of the water-soluble inorganic compound substantially independently, the water-soluble inorganic compound is blended into the rubber composition, taking into consideration the particle size and blending amount of the water-soluble inorganic compound, and mixed. good. That is, when the particle size is large, the amount to be blended may be reduced, while when the particle size is small, the amount to be blended may be increased. The average particle size of water-soluble inorganic compounds is
Approximately 5 to 2000μ steel is preferable. If it is less than 5 μm, it will be difficult to disperse the particles in the rubber, and if it exceeds 2000 μm, the abrasion resistance will deteriorate. The blending amount is preferably about 1 to 50% by volume of the total volume of the rubber composition. If it is less than 1% by volume, the blending effect will not appear, and if it exceeds 50% by volume, some of the particles will come into contact with each other, resulting in poor rubber elasticity. The wear resistance decreases and the wear resistance deteriorates.

From Table 1, rubber compositions B-G containing a water-soluble inorganic compound (salt, calcium chloride) in a state where the particles are not substantially in contact with each other are different from rubber composition A containing no water-soluble inorganic compound. It can be seen that it is superior in friction performance on ice without substantially impairing wear resistance (pico wear index). Further, although the rubber composition H containing sand grains has excellent wear resistance and friction performance on ice, many sand grains scatter during the wear test, making it impractical. Rubber composition I containing a foaming agent has excellent friction performance on ice but is inferior in abrasion resistance.

Next, pneumatic tires with a tire size of 185/70 R13 were prepared by configuring the tread portion with each of the rubber compositions A, C, and E (Comparative Tire 1, Inventive Tire 1, Inventive Tire 2). Each of these tires was installed on a domestically produced five-seater sedan, and the vehicle was run on an icy road surface with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius at a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius.The braking distance from a speed of 30 k+w/h was measured, and the braking index was calculated using the following formula. I asked for The results are shown in Table 2. The larger the value, the higher the friction performance on ice. From Table 2, it can be seen that the tire 1.2 of the present invention has better friction performance on ice than the comparative tire 1.
