BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire tread and a tire manufactured using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire tread having improved braking performance on ice and road surface and wet road surface.

Recently, tires are required not only for dry handling but also for various kinds of tires such as wet handling, braking performance on snow and ice road surface, wear performance, low fuel consumption performance and durability performance. Due to high performance of passenger cars, There is a growing demand for performance.

As a method for improving the braking performance on a wet road surface, a petroleum resin system, a coumarone-indene resin system, a phenol resin system resin, or the like is added to a rubber composition for tread to increase the stickiness of the rubber or to use a large amount of raw rubber containing a high styrene component Thereby increasing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the rubber and increasing the dynamic loss coefficient (tan delta) on the road surface. Such a method may cause the hardness and modulus of the rubber to rise at a low temperature, which may lead to a decrease in braking performance on the ice and snow surface.

Further, by using carbon black having a small particle diameter or by increasing the amount of carbon black to improve the heat generation rate and reinforcement, braking performance on a dry road surface can be improved. However, if the above method is used, the rotation resistance performance may be lost.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a rubber composition for a tire tread having improved braking performance on ice and snow road surfaces and wet road surfaces.

The raw material rubber may include 70 to 90 parts by weight of styrene butadiene rubber and 10 to 30 parts by weight of butadiene rubber.

The liquid butadiene rubber in which the terminal is modified with siloxane may have a vinyl content of 60 to 70% by weight and a number average molecular weight of 2,000 to 8,000 g / mol.

The liquid butadiene rubber modified with the siloxane may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) of -60 to -40 캜.

The liquid butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of -110 to -80 ° C may have a vinyl content of 10 to 30% by weight and a number average molecular weight of 7,000 to 13,000 g / mol.

A tire according to another embodiment of the present invention is manufactured using the rubber composition for a tire tread.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

A rubber composition for a tire tread according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber, 5 to 20 parts by weight of a liquid butadiene rubber modified with siloxane (-Si (OCH ₂ CH ₃ ) ₃ ) And 5 to 15 parts by weight of a liquid butadiene rubber having a temperature (Tg) of -110 to -80 占 폚. Preferably 10 to 20 parts by weight of a liquid butadiene rubber modified with siloxane (-Si (OCH ₂ CH ₃ ) ₃ ) at its end and 5 to 10 parts by weight of a liquid butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature (Tg) Parts by weight.

If the content of the butadiene rubber modified with the siloxane end is less than 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the raw material rubber, the effect of improving the braking performance and the low fuel consumption performance on the wet road surface is insignificant. If the amount is more than 20 parts by weight, The risk can be increased.

If the content of the liquid butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of -110 to -80 ° C. is less than 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the raw rubber, the effect of improving the braking performance is insignificant, Fuel ratio performance and braking performance on a wet road surface may be deteriorated.

The liquid butadiene rubber in which the terminal is modified with siloxane and the liquid butadiene rubber having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of -110 to -80 ° C may be used in place of a part or all of the softening agent.

It was also found that the hardness was increased as compared with Comparative Example 1 and the braking performance on the ice and snow surface was lowered.

In Comparative Example 3, it was confirmed that the friction coefficient on the icy and snowy road surface was somewhat higher than that of Comparative Example 1 due to the influence of the liquid butadiene rubber having low glass transition temperature properties, but the rotational resistance performance and the braking performance on the wet road surface were weak.

In Examples 1, 2 and 3, the rotational resistance performance and the average value of the braking performance on the ice surface and the wet road surface were improved, thereby improving the braking performance in the ice and snow. In addition, it was found that the braking performance and the rotational resistance performance on the lost wet road surface were minimized because there was little change in the physical properties of scorch time and hardness.
