アニオン重合により上記変性共役ジエン系重合体を得る方法としては、例えば有機アルカリ金属化合物を開始剤とし、有機溶媒中で共役ジエン化合物単独、又は共役ジエン化合物と芳香族ビニル化合物とをアニオン重合させて得られた、重合開始側末端に、層状化合物と相互作用する官能基を有する変性共役ジエン系重合体、又は重合停止側末端に該官能基が導入された変性共役ジエン系重合体、あるいは重合停止側末端と重合開始側末端の両方に該官能基が導入された変性共役ジエン系重合体を得る方法等を挙げることができる。
一方、希土類金属化合物を重合開始剤として、配位重合で当該変性共役ジエン系重合体を製造する場合は、下記(A)成分、(B)成分、(C)成分を組み合わせて用いるのが好ましい。
本発明における変性共役ジエン系共重合体は、上記のアニオン重合や配位重合により得られた共役ジエン系重合体の活性部位に、適当な変性剤を反応させることによって製造することができる。該変性剤は、上記窒素含有官能基及び上記酸素含有官能基の少なくともいずれかを有することが好ましい。
なお、本明細書において「(チオ)エポキシ」とは、エポキシおよび/またはチオエポキシを意味する。
重量平均分子量(Mw)が上記範囲内であることで、加工性が良好である。さらに、重量平均分子量(Mw)/数平均分子量(Mn)比で表される分子量分布は1~4であることが好ましく、1~3であることがより好ましい。分子量分布を上記範囲内にすることにより、当該変性共役ジエン系重合体をゴム組成物に配合しても、該ゴム組成物の作業性を低下させることがなく、混練りが容易で、ゴム組成物の物性を十分に向上させることができる。
なお、上記重量平均分子量(Mw)及び数平均分子量(Mn)は、ゲル浸透クロマトグラフィー(GPC)法で測定した標準ポリスチレン換算の値である。
本発明のゴム組成物は、ブチルゴム類を含んでいてもよい。ゴム成分として、ブチルゴム類と共に、上述の層状化合物と相互作用する官能基を有する変性共役ジエン系重合体と併用することにより、すなわち、末端変性ポリマー等となる変性共役ジエン系重合体とブチルゴム類であるIIR系ポリマーのブレンド系にすることにより、層状化合物の層間を拡大し、ナノコンポジットを形成させるので、ブチルゴム類単独使用よりも、更に、優れたガスバリア性を発揮するものとなる。
また、上記3)の共重合体の製造に用いるハロゲン基を含有した芳香族ビニル化合物としては、例えば、p-クロロメチルスチレン、p-ブロモメチルスチレン、p-クロロスチレン、p-ブロモスチレン等が挙げられ、これらの中でもp-クロロメチルスチレン、p-ブロモメチルスチレン等のp-ハロメチルスチレンが好ましい。上記共重合体中のハロゲン基を含有した芳香族ビニル化合物単位の結合量は、5~70質量%であり、10~70質量%が好ましい。共重合体中のハロゲン基を含有した芳香族ビニル化合物単位の結合量が5質量%未満では、有機化された層状粘土鉱物の層間にインターカレートし難く、70質量%を超えると、ゴム組成物の弾性率が高くなり、耐クラック性が悪化する。
上記3)の共重合体は、上記カチオン重合開始剤を用いて公知の方法でカチオン重合することにより製造することができる。
これらは、一種単独でも、二種以上を混合して使用してもよい。更に、これらの溶媒と共に少量の他の溶媒、例えば、酢酸エチル等の酢酸エステルやニトロエタン等のニトロ基を持つ有機化合物を併用してもよい。
また、上記3)の共重合体の重合反応は、モノマーを実質的に液相下に保つのに充分な圧力下で行うのが望ましい。即ち、反応圧力は重合される各モノマーや、使用する溶媒及び重合温度にもよるが、所望ならばより高い圧力下で重合させることができ、このような高い圧力は重合反応に関して不活性なガスで反応器を加圧する等の適当な方法で達成される。
更に、上記3)の共重合体の製造においては、一般にモノマー、カチオン重合開始剤、溶媒等の製造に使用する全ての物質から、水、酸素、二酸化炭素等の触媒毒を除去するのが好適である。
本発明のゴム組成物は、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、上記変性共役ジエン系重合体、ブチルゴム類以外の他のゴム成分を含んでもよい。
また、本発明のゴム組成物は、例えば硫黄等の加硫剤、シリカやカーボンブラック等の充填剤、プロセスオイル等の油分、加硫促進剤、老化防止剤、軟化剤、酸化亜鉛、及び、ステアリン酸等の配合剤を含んでもよい。
そして、本発明のゴム組成物は、常法により作製できる。該作製方法に特に制限は無く、例えば、ゴム成分(変性共役ジエン系重合体、任意のブチルゴム類およびその他ゴム成分)、層状化合物、配合剤を混練して作製してもよいし、ゴム成分、層状化合物を含むゴムマスターバッチを作製し、その後該ゴムマスターバッチと上記のような配合剤を混練して作製してもよい。層状化合物の各層の、ゴム組成物中での分散性の観点からは、ゴムマスターバッチを用いた作製が好ましい。
ゴムマスターバッチは、例えば、ゴム成分及び層状化合物を水及び/又は有機溶媒に混合し、その後水及び/又は有機溶媒を除去することによって得られる。有機溶媒としては、例えば、トルエン、シクロヘキサン、ヘキサンなどを用いることができる。
本発明のインナーライナー素材は、本発明のゴム組成物からなることを特徴とする。本発明のインナーライナー素材を常法により押出して加工し、空気入りタイヤと共に、又は別途加硫してインナーライナーとすることができる。該インナーライナーは、優れたガスバリア性を有する。
本発明の空気入りタイヤは、本発明のインナーライナー素材を用いたインナーライナーを具えることを特徴とする。本発明の空気入りタイヤは、特に制限は無く、常法により製造することができる。また、該タイヤに充填する空気としては、通常の或いは酸素分圧を調整した空気に加え、窒素、アルゴン、ヘリウム等の不活性ガスを含んでもよい。該空気入りタイヤは、優れた充填気体保持性を有する。

ミクロ構造〔シス-1,4結合量(Cis)(%)及び1,2-ビニル結合量(Vi)(%)〕

(ビニル結合量)=g/(e+f+g)×100・・・(II')
に従ってシス-1,4結合量及びビニル結合量を求めた。
