本発明は、ゴム組成物及びタイヤに関する。
The present invention relates to a rubber composition and a tire.
タイヤ、特にそのサイドウォール部には、その使用態様から、繰り返しの屈曲疲労に対する高い耐性(高い耐屈曲疲労性)や、耐オゾン性等の耐候性が高いレベルで両立されていることが求められる。この要求を満たすため、従来より、タイヤのサイドウォール用ゴム組成物のゴム成分として、天然ゴムや、ブタジエンゴム及びスチレン-ブタジエンゴム等の共役ジエンに由来するゴム等から適宜選択されたブレンドゴムを用いることにより耐屈曲疲労性を向上させ、また、ゴム成分にアミン系老化防止剤やパラフィン系ワックス等の配合剤を多量に配合することにより、耐候性を向上させる方法が取られてきた。
The tire, particularly its sidewall portion, is required to have both high resistance to repeated bending fatigue (high bending fatigue resistance) and high weather resistance such as ozone resistance due to its usage. . In order to satisfy this requirement, conventionally, as a rubber component of a rubber composition for a tire sidewall, a blend rubber appropriately selected from natural rubber, rubber derived from conjugated dienes such as butadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber, and the like is used. Bending fatigue resistance has been improved by use, and a method of improving weather resistance has been taken by adding a large amount of a compounding agent such as an amine-based antioxidant or a paraffinic wax to the rubber component.
しかしながら、この方法では、かかる配合剤がタイヤ表面にブルームして、紫外線が当たることによってこれが茶褐色に変色し、タイヤの外観を著しく損ない得るという問題があった。
However, this method has a problem that such a compounding agent blooms on the surface of the tire, and when it is exposed to ultraviolet rays, this color changes to brown and the appearance of the tire can be significantly impaired.
この問題への対処として、エチレン含有量が高い特定のエチレン-プロピレン-ジエン共重合体(EPDM)を配合してなるゴム組成物をタイヤのサイドウォール部の最外層に用いることにより、高い耐屈曲疲労性を得つつ、耐亀裂成長性を向上させるとともに、変色等による外観の悪化を改良した空気入りタイヤが提案されている(特許文献1)。また、水添スチレン-共役ジエン共重合体を配合することや、ブチルゴム、ジエン系ゴム、充填剤及び添加剤を混練してマスターバッチを作製した後にジエン系ゴムを混ぜて混練することによって、タイヤサイドウォール部の外観、耐候性や耐亀裂成長性を向上させるゴム組成物を得る方法も提案されている(特許文献2,3)。
As a countermeasure against this problem, a rubber composition obtained by blending a specific ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer (EPDM) having a high ethylene content is used as the outermost layer of the sidewall portion of the tire, thereby providing high bending resistance. There has been proposed a pneumatic tire that has improved fatigue resistance, improved crack growth resistance, and improved appearance deterioration due to discoloration (Patent Document 1). Also, by adding a hydrogenated styrene-conjugated diene copolymer, kneading butyl rubber, diene rubber, filler and additives to prepare a masterbatch, and then mixing and kneading the diene rubber, the tire There has also been proposed a method for obtaining a rubber composition that improves the appearance, weather resistance, and crack growth resistance of the sidewall portion (Patent Documents 2 and 3).
しかしながら、上記特定のEPDMは、天然ゴムや共役ジエンに由来するゴムとの相溶性が低いため、その機能を十分には発揮することができていなかった。また、上記の各方法により得られるゴム組成物のいずれも、依然として、耐候性及び耐亀裂成長性について更なる改善の余地があった。
However, since the specific EPDM has low compatibility with natural rubber and rubber derived from conjugated dienes, it has not been able to perform its function sufficiently. In addition, any of the rubber compositions obtained by the above methods still has room for further improvement in weather resistance and crack growth resistance.
そこで、本発明の目的は、高い耐候性及び耐亀裂成長性を有するゴム組成物を提供することにある。また、本発明の他の目的は、かかるゴム組成物を用い、耐候性及び耐亀裂成長性に優れたタイヤを提供することにある。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition having high weather resistance and crack growth resistance. Another object of the present invention is to provide a tire excellent in weather resistance and crack growth resistance using such a rubber composition.

ここで、本発明のゴム組成物の上述したゴム物性(粘弾性特性)を得るのに好適な方法の一つとしては、ジエン系ゴムを天然ゴム及び/又はブタジエンゴムとし、ゴム成分中のジエン系ゴムの割合を20~90質量%とし、ゴム成分中の天然ゴムの割合を10~70質量%とし、且つ、ゴム成分中のブタジエンゴムの割合を10~40質量%とすることが挙げられる。
Here, as a suitable method for obtaining the above-described rubber physical properties (viscoelastic properties) of the rubber composition of the present invention, the diene rubber is natural rubber and / or butadiene rubber, and the diene in the rubber component is used.

(2)前記マスターバッチに、ジエン系ゴム、及び残りの補強性充填剤を投入して混練する二次工程
を経てゴム組成物を製造する方法が挙げられる。
ジエン系ゴム、非ジエン系ゴム及び補強性充填剤を用いたゴム組成物の製造において、常法に従ってこれらを一括で混練するか、又は補強性充填剤を後半段階に一括投入する場合には、補強性充填剤は親和性の高いジエン系ゴム近傍に偏在し易いという問題がある。しかしながら、あらかじめ所定量の補強性充填剤と非ジエン系ゴムとを混練する一次工程を経れば、補強性充填剤は、非ジエン系ゴム中により分布できるようになり、その後の二次工程で配合されるジエン系ゴムが前記非ジエン系ゴムに入り込んで、その補強性充填剤と親和するため、ゴム組成物の粘弾性特性の適正化を図ることができる。 As another method suitable for obtaining the above-described rubber physical properties (viscoelastic properties) of the rubber composition of the present invention,

In the production of a rubber composition using a diene rubber, a non-diene rubber and a reinforcing filler, these are kneaded in a lump according to a conventional method, or when a reinforcing filler is collectively charged in the latter half stage, There is a problem that the reinforcing filler tends to be unevenly distributed in the vicinity of the high-affinity diene rubber. However, if a primary step of kneading a predetermined amount of reinforcing filler and non-diene rubber in advance, the reinforcing filler can be distributed in the non-diene rubber, and in the subsequent secondary step. Since the blended diene rubber enters the non-diene rubber and has an affinity with the reinforcing filler, the viscoelastic characteristics of the rubber composition can be optimized.
(1)非ジエン系ゴムと、補強性充填剤の少なくとも一部とを混練してマスターバッチを作製する一次工程、及び

ジエン系ゴム、非ジエン系ゴム及び補強性充填剤を用いたゴム組成物の製造において、常法に従ってこれらを一括で混練するか、又は補強性充填剤を後半段階に一括投入する場合には、補強性充填剤は親和性の高いジエン系ゴム近傍に偏在し易いという問題がある。しかしながら、あらかじめ所定量の補強性充填剤と非ジエン系ゴムとを混練する一次工程を経れば、補強性充填剤は、非ジエン系ゴム中により分布できるようになり、その後の二次工程で配合されるジエン系ゴムが前記非ジエン系ゴムに入り込んで、その補強性充填剤と親和するため、ゴム組成物の粘弾性特性の適正化を図ることができる。 As another method suitable for obtaining the above-described rubber physical properties (viscoelastic properties) of the rubber composition of the present invention,
(1) a primary step of kneading a non-diene rubber and at least a part of a reinforcing filler to produce a master batch; and (2) a diene rubber and the remaining reinforcing filler in the master batch. And a method of producing a rubber composition through a secondary step of kneading and kneading.
In the production of a rubber composition using a diene rubber, a non-diene rubber and a reinforcing filler, these are kneaded in a lump according to a conventional method, or when a reinforcing filler is collectively charged in the latter half stage, There is a problem that the reinforcing filler tends to be unevenly distributed in the vicinity of the high-affinity diene rubber. However, if a primary step of kneading a predetermined amount of reinforcing filler and non-diene rubber in advance, the reinforcing filler can be distributed in the non-diene rubber, and in the subsequent secondary step. Since the blended diene rubber enters the non-diene rubber and has an affinity with the reinforcing filler, the viscoelastic characteristics of the rubber composition can be optimized.
本発明のゴム組成物を上記工程(1)及び(2)を経て製造する場合、一次工程で配合する補強性充填剤の量は、ゴム成分100質量部に対して15~80質量部であることが好ましく、20~65質量部であることがより好ましい。一次工程で配合する補強性充填剤の量がゴム成分100質量部に対して15~80質量部であることにより、作業性が悪化することなく、補強性充填剤が非ジエン系ゴム中により分布するようになり、耐亀裂成長性の十分な向上が得られる。
When the rubber composition of the present invention is produced through the above steps (1) and (2), the amount of the reinforcing filler compounded in the primary step is 15 to 80 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. It is preferably 20 to 65 parts by mass. The amount of the reinforcing filler blended in the primary process is 15 to 80 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, so that the reinforcing filler is distributed in the non-diene rubber without deteriorating workability. As a result, the crack growth resistance can be sufficiently improved.
さらに、上記工程(1)及び(2)を経る場合であって、且つ、補強性充填剤としてカーボンブラックを用いる場合においては、下記式(I)~(III):
[式中、Aは芳香族環、置換され若しくは置換されていないヒダントイン環、又は炭素原子数1~18の飽和若しくは不飽和の直鎖状炭化水素基であり、aは0又は1であり、Bは芳香族基であり、Xはヒドロキシ基又はアミノ基であり、Yはピリジル基又はヒドラジノ基である]のいずれかで表される化合物をさらに配合することが好ましい。かかる化合物は、ジエン系ゴムの主鎖と反応し、また、カーボンブラックとの親和性が高いため、ジエン系ゴムが非ジエン系ゴムに入り込む効果を高め、非ジエン系ゴムとジエン系ゴムとがより均一に混和して、ゴム組成物の粘弾性特性の適正化が好適に図られ得る。
かかる化合物は、上記工程(2)中で投入することが好ましい。 Further, in the case where the steps (1) and (2) are performed and carbon black is used as the reinforcing filler, the following formulas (I) to (III):

Such a compound reacts with the main chain of the diene rubber and has a high affinity with carbon black, so that the effect of the diene rubber entering the non-diene rubber is enhanced, and the non-diene rubber and the diene rubber are By mixing more uniformly, the viscoelastic properties of the rubber composition can be suitably optimized.
Such a compound is preferably added in the step (2).
