Abstract
Description
以下に、本発明のゴム組成物を詳細に説明する。本発明のゴム組成物は、数平均分子量(Mn)が1,000~130,000の範囲にある乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(A)より得られるポリマー(B)を含むことを特徴とする。該乳化重合により得られるポリマーラテックス(A)中のポリマー(B)は、ラジカル重合で連鎖成長しているため、分子量分布が広く、また、分岐部分が多い。そのため、上記ポリマー(B)をゴム組成物に配合することで、未加硫粘度が低下し、また、ゴム組成物の加工性を向上させることができる。また、ポリマー(B)は、従来ゴム組成物の配合に使用されていたプロセスオイル等のオイル成分と異なり、マトリクスのゴム成分との架橋可能部位を有するため、ゴム組成物を加硫して得られる加硫ゴムの破壊特性を向上させることができる。なお、数平均分子量(Mn)が1,000未満のポリマーは、架橋に関わらないため、ゴム組成物のヒステリシスロスが大きくなり、ゴム組成物の破壊特性を十分に向上させることができず、一方、数平均分子量(Mn)が130,000を超えるポリマー(B)は、ゴム組成物の加工性を十分に向上させることができない。また、ゴム組成物の加工性及び破壊特性の観点からは、上記ポリマー(B)の数平均分子量(Mn)は、30,000~100,000の範囲が好ましく、50,000~80,000の範囲が特に好ましい。また、ポリマー(B)は、ゴム組成物の加工性の観点から、分子量分布(Mw/Mn)が2.0~4.0の範囲にあることが好ましい。
本発明のタイヤは、上記ゴム組成物を用いたことを特徴とし、上記ゴム組成物をトレッドに用いることが好ましい。本発明のタイヤは、上述した加工性及び破壊特性に優れるゴム組成物を利用しているため、生産性が高く、また、破壊特性にも優れる。なお、本発明のタイヤは、上述のゴム組成物をタイヤのいずれかのゴム部材として用いる以外特に制限は無く、常法に従って製造することができる。また、タイヤが空気入りタイヤの場合、該空気入りタイヤに充填する気体としては、通常の或いは酸素分圧を調整した空気の他、窒素、アルゴン、ヘリウム等の不活性ガスを用いることができる。

ゴム組成物を145℃で33分間加硫して得た加硫ゴムに対して、ランボーン型摩耗試験機を用い、25℃、スリップ率60%での摩耗量を測定し、各例の摩耗量の逆数を、表3においては比較例1の摩耗量の逆数を100として指数表示し、表5においては比較例3の摩耗量の逆数を100として指数表示した。指数値が大きい程、摩耗量が少なく、耐摩耗性が良好であることを示す。
窒素置換した重合容器に、水200部、ロジン酸石鹸4.5部、ブタジエン71部 及びスチレン29部、及びt-ドデシルメルカプタン0.37部を仕込んだ。その後、重合容器の温度を5℃に設定し、重合開始剤としてのp-メンタンハイドロパーオキサイド0.05部、エチレンジアミン4酢酸ナトリウム0.04部、硫酸第1鉄7水和物0.01部、及びナトリウムホルムアルデヒドスルホキシレート0.04部を添加して重合を開始した。重合転化率が60%に達した時点でジエチルヒドロキシルアミンを添加して重合を停止し未反応の単量体を留去して、低分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(A-1)を得た。次に、得られた乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(A-1)にギ酸を加えpHを4.7に調整し、ラテックスを凝固させた。このようにして得られた固形物を乾燥してポリマー(B-1)を得た。得られたポリマー(B-1)の数平均分子量(Mn)、重量平均分子量(Mw)、ブタジエン部分のビニル結合量、結合スチレン量を表1に示す。
t-ドデシルメルカプタンの添加量を変更する以外は、上記低分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックスの製造例1と同様にし、低分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(A-2)、(A-3)、(A-4)、(A’-5)を合成し、更に、凝固、乾燥させて、ポリマー(B-2)、(B-3)、(B-4)、(B’-5)を得た。得られたポリマー(B-2)、(B-3)、(B-4)、(B’-5)の数平均分子量(Mn)、重量平均分子量(Mw)、ブタジエン部分のビニル結合量、結合スチレン量を表1に示す。
また、モノマーの仕込み部数を、ブタジエン55部 及び スチレン45部に変更する以外は、上記低分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックスの製造例1と同様にし、低分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(A-6)を合成し、更に、凝固、乾燥させて、ポリマー(B-6)を得た。得られたポリマー(B-6)の数平均分子量(Mn)、重量平均分子量(Mw)、ブタジエン部分のビニル結合量、結合スチレン量を表1に示す。
上記のようにして得たポリマー(B-1)~(B-4)、(B’-5)、(B-6)を用いて、表2に示す配合のゴム組成物を調製し、得られたゴム組成物のムーニー粘度、引張強さ(Tb)、耐摩耗性を評価した。結果を表3に示す。

窒素置換した重合容器に、水200部、ロジン酸石鹸4.5部、ブタジエン71部 及びスチレン29部、及びt-ドデシルメルカプタン0.13部を仕込んだ。その後、重合容器の温度を5℃に設定し、重合開始剤としてのp-メンタンハイドロパーオキサイド0.05部、エチレンジアミン4酢酸ナトリウム0.04部、硫酸第1鉄7水和物0.01部、及びナトリウムホルムアルデヒドスルホキシレート0.04部を添加して重合を開始した。重合転化率が60%に達した時点でジエチルヒドロキシルアミンを添加して重合を停止し、未反応の単量体を留去して、高分子量乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(C-1)を得た。次に、得られた乳化重合ポリマーラテックス(C-1)にギ酸を加えpHを4.7に調整し、ラテックスを凝固させた。このようにして得られた固形物をクレーパーで5回処理し、シュレッダーに通してクラム化した後、熱風式乾燥機により110℃で210分間乾燥してポリマー(D-1)を得た。得られたポリマー(D-1)は、数平均分子量(Mn)が220,000で、重量平均分子量(Mw)が650,000で、ブタジエン部分のビニル結合量が19質量%で、結合スチレン量が24質量%であった。
