Description
本発明は、主に空気入りタイヤのアンダートレッド部に用いることを意図したタイヤ用ゴム組成物に関する。
The present invention mainly relates to a rubber composition for a tire intended to be used for an undertread portion of a pneumatic tire.
空気入りタイヤにおいては、環境負荷を低減するために走行時の燃費性能を向上することが求められている。そのため、空気入りタイヤの各部を構成するゴム組成物の発熱を抑制することが行われている。近年、燃費性能の更なる改善のために、例えば、空気入りタイヤの踏面を形成するキャップトレッド部の内側に配置されるアンダートレッド部を構成するゴム組成物についても発熱を抑制することが求められている。
In pneumatic tires, it is required to improve fuel efficiency during running to reduce the environmental load. Therefore, heat generation of the rubber composition forming each part of the pneumatic tire is suppressed. In recent years, in order to further improve fuel efficiency, for example, it is required to suppress heat generation in a rubber composition that constitutes an undertread portion arranged inside a cap tread portion that forms a tread surface of a pneumatic tire. ing.
ゴム組成物の発熱性の指標としては、一般に動的粘弾性測定による６０℃におけるｔａｎδ（以下、「ｔａｎδ（６０℃）」という。）が用いられ、ゴム組成物のｔａｎδ（６０℃）が小さいほど発熱性が小さくなる。そして、ゴム組成物のｔａｎδ（６０℃）を小さくする方法として、例えばカーボンブラック等の充填材の配合量を少なくしたり、カーボンブラックの粒径を大きくすることが挙げられる。或いは、シリカを配合することも提案されている（例えば特許文献１を参照）。しかしながら、これらの方法では、必ずしもゴム硬度や耐疲労性が十分に得られず、タイヤに利用したとき（特に、アンダートレッド部に用いたとき）に、操縦安定性や耐久性への影響が懸念される。そのため、アンダートレッド部として用いることを意図したタイヤ用ゴム組成物において、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を良好に維持しながら、低転がり性を向上する更なる対策が求められている。
As an index of exothermicity of the rubber composition, tan δ at 60° C. (hereinafter, referred to as “tan δ (60° C.)”) measured by dynamic viscoelasticity is generally used, and tan δ (60° C.) of the rubber composition is small. The lower the exothermicity, the less. Then, as a method of reducing tan δ (60° C.) of the rubber composition, for example, it is possible to reduce the compounding amount of a filler such as carbon black or increase the particle size of carbon black. Alternatively, it has been proposed to blend silica (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, these methods do not always provide sufficient rubber hardness and fatigue resistance, and there is concern about the influence on steering stability and durability when used in tires (particularly when used in the undertread portion). To be done. Therefore, in a rubber composition for a tire intended to be used as an undertread portion, further measures are required to improve low rolling performance while maintaining good steering stability and durability when used as a tire. ..
本発明の目的は、主に空気入りタイヤのアンダートレッド部に用いることを意図したタイヤ用ゴム組成物であって、転がり抵抗が低く、且つ、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性に優れるタイヤ用ゴム組成物を提供することにある。

The rubber composition for a tire of the present invention which achieves the above object has a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area N with respect to 100 parts by mass of a rubber component containing 50% by mass or more of natural rubber and 35% by mass to 50% by mass of terminal-modified butadiene rubber. A rubber composition for a tire, comprising 50 parts by mass or more of carbon black having 2 SA of 70 m 2 /g or less, having a hardness of 65 or more and a rebound resilience at 40° C. of 80% or more. To do.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、ゴム成分として天然ゴムに加えて末端変性ブタジエンゴムを併用し、且つ、充填材として粒径の大きいカーボンブラックを配合し、ゴム組成物の硬度や反発弾性率を上記のように充分に高めているので、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を向上することができる。特に、粒径の大きいカーボンブラックと末端変性ブタジエンゴムとを組み合わせて用いているので、発熱を悪化させずに、カーボンブラックの配合量を増大してゴム硬度を向上することも可能になり、前述の性能をバランスよく改善することができる。
The rubber composition for a tire according to the present invention is a combination of a terminal modified butadiene rubber in addition to a natural rubber as a rubber component, and a carbon black having a large particle size is compounded as a filler, and the hardness and the impact resilience of the rubber composition.

The performance of can be improved in a balanced manner.
尚、本発明において、「硬度」とは、ＪＩＳ Ｋ６２５３に準拠して、デュロメータのタイプＡにより温度２０℃で測定したゴム組成物の硬度である。また、「４０℃における反発弾性率」とは、ＪＩＳ Ｋ６２５５に準拠して、リュプケ式反発弾性試験装置により温度４０℃で測定したゴム組成物の反発弾性率である。

Further, the “repulsion elastic modulus at 40° C.” is the repulsive elastic modulus of the rubber composition measured at a temperature of 40° C. by a Lupke type repulsion elasticity testing device according to JIS K6255.
本発明では、末端変性ブタジエンゴムの重量平均分子量（Ｍｗ）および数平均分子量（Ｍｎ）から求められる分子量分布（Ｍｗ／Ｍｎ）が２．０以下であることが好ましい。このように分子量分布を狭くすることで、ゴム物性がより良好になり、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を向上するには有利になる。尚、本発明において、「重量平均分子量Ｍｗ」と「数平均分子量Ｍｎ」とは、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー（ＧＰＣ）により標準ポリスチレン換算により測定するものとする。
In the present invention, the molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) obtained from the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is preferably 2.0 or less. By narrowing the molecular weight distribution in this way, the rubber physical properties become better, and it is advantageous to reduce the rolling resistance and to improve the steering stability and durability of the tire. In the present invention, the "weight average molecular weight Mw" and the "number average molecular weight Mn" are measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in terms of standard polystyrene.
本発明では、末端変性ブタジエンゴムの末端の官能基が水酸基、アミノ基、アルコキシル基、エポキシ基のうちの少なくとも１種であることが好ましい。これによりカーボンブラックとの親和性が高まり、カーボンブラックの分散性がより改善されるので、より効果的に、発熱性を低く維持しながらゴム硬度や接着性を高めることができ、これら性能をバランスよく両立するには有利になる。
In the present invention, it is preferable that the terminal functional group of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is at least one of a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an alkoxyl group, and an epoxy group. This increases the affinity with carbon black and further improves the dispersibility of carbon black, so it is possible to more effectively increase rubber hardness and adhesiveness while maintaining low exothermicity, and balance these performances. It is advantageous to be well balanced.
本発明では、ゴム成分１００質量部に対してアミン系老化防止剤を１．０質量部～４．０質量部配合することが好ましい。また、ゴム成分１００質量部に対してワックスを０質量部超２．０質量部以下配合することが好ましい。このように老化防止剤やワックスを配合することで、耐クラック性や加工性を向上することができる。

The rubber composition for a tire of the present invention is preferably used in the undertread portion of a pneumatic tire, and a pneumatic tire using the rubber composition for a tire of the present invention in the undertread portion has steering stability and durability. It is possible to improve fuel efficiency while maintaining good performance.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物において、ゴム成分はジエン系ゴムであり、天然ゴムと末端変性ブタジエンゴムとを必ず含む。
In the rubber composition for tires of the present invention, the rubber component is a diene rubber, which always contains natural rubber and terminal-modified butadiene rubber.
天然ゴムとしては、タイヤ用ゴム組成物に通常用いられるゴムを使用することができる。天然ゴムを配合することで、タイヤ用ゴム組成物として充分なゴム強度を得ることができる。ジエン系ゴム全体を１００質量％としたとき、天然ゴムの配合量は５０質量％以上、好ましくは５０質量％～７０質量％、より好ましくは６０質量％～６５質量％である。天然ゴムの配合量が５０質量％未満であるとゴム強度が低下する。
As the natural rubber, a rubber normally used in a rubber composition for tires can be used. By blending natural rubber, it is possible to obtain sufficient rubber strength as a rubber composition for tires. When the total amount of the diene rubber is 100% by mass, the content of the natural rubber is 50% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass to 70% by mass, more preferably 60% by mass to 65% by mass. If the content of natural rubber is less than 50% by mass, the rubber strength will decrease.
末端変性ブタジエンゴムは、分子鎖の片末端または両末端が官能基を有する有機化合物で変性されたブタジエンゴムである。このような末端変性ブタジエンゴムを配合することにより、後述のカーボンブラックとの親和性を高くし分散性を改善するため、発熱性を低く維持しながら、カーボンブラックの作用効果を一層向上して、ゴム硬度を高めることができる。分子鎖の末端を変性する官能基としては、例えばアルコキシシリル基、ヒドロキシル基（水酸基）、アルデヒド基、カルボキシル基、アミノ基、アミド基、イミノ基、アルコキシル基、エポキシ基、アミド基、チオール基、エーテル基、シロキサン結合基を挙げることができる。なかでもヒドロキシル基（水酸基）、アミノ基、アミド基、アルコキシル基、エポキシ基、シロキサン結合基から選ばれる少なくとも一つであるとよい。ここで、シロキサン結合基は、－Ｏ－Ｓｉ－Ｏ－構造を有する官能基とする。
The terminal-modified butadiene rubber is a butadiene rubber modified with an organic compound having a functional group at one or both ends of the molecular chain. By blending such a terminal-modified butadiene rubber, the affinity with the carbon black described later is increased and the dispersibility is improved, so that the action effect of the carbon black is further improved while keeping the exothermicity low. The rubber hardness can be increased. Examples of the functional group that modifies the terminal of the molecular chain include an alkoxysilyl group, a hydroxyl group (hydroxyl group), an aldehyde group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, an amide group, an imino group, an alkoxyl group, an epoxy group, an amide group, a thiol group, Examples thereof include ether groups and siloxane bonding groups. Among them, at least one selected from a hydroxyl group (hydroxyl group), an amino group, an amide group, an alkoxyl group, an epoxy group, and a siloxane bonding group is preferable. Here, the siloxane bonding group is a functional group having a —O—Si—O— structure.
ジエン系ゴム全体を１００質量％としたとき、末端変性ブタジエンゴムの配合量は、３５質量％～５０質量％、好ましくは４０質量％～５０質量％である。末端変性ブタジエンゴムの配合量が３５質量％未満であると低燃費性が悪化する。末端変性ブタジエンゴムの配合量が５０質量％を超えるとゴム強度が低下する。
When the total amount of the diene rubber is 100% by mass, the content of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is 35% by mass to 50% by mass, preferably 40% by mass to 50% by mass. If the compounding amount of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is less than 35% by mass, fuel economy is deteriorated. If the compounding amount of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber exceeds 50% by mass, the rubber strength will decrease.
末端変性ブタジエンゴムの分子量分布（Ｍｗ／Ｍｎ）は、好ましくは２．０以下、より好ましくは１．１～１．６である。このように、末端変性ブタジエンゴムとして分子量分布が狭いものを用いることで、ゴム物性がより良好になり、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を効果的に向上することができる。末端変性ブタジエンゴムの分子量分布（Ｍｗ／Ｍｎ）が２．０を超えるとヒステリシスロスが大きくなってゴムの発熱性が大きくなると共に、耐コンプレッションセット性が低下する。
The molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is preferably 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.1 to 1.6. In this way, by using a terminal-modified butadiene rubber with a narrow molecular weight distribution, the rubber physical properties become better, and rolling resistance is reduced while effectively improving steering stability and durability when used as a tire. can do. When the molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber exceeds 2.0, the hysteresis loss becomes large, the heat generation property of the rubber becomes large, and the compression set resistance decreases.
本発明で使用する末端変性ブタジエンゴムのガラス転移温度Ｔｇは好ましくは－８５℃以下、より好ましくは－９０℃～－１００℃であるとよい。このようにガラス転移温度Ｔｇを設定することで、発熱性を効果的に低減することができる。ガラス転移温度Ｔｇが－８０℃を超えると発熱性を低減する効果が充分に得られなくなる。尚、天然ゴムのガラス転移温度Ｔｇは特に限定されないが、例えば－７０℃～－８０℃に設定することができる。
The glass transition temperature Tg of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber used in the present invention is preferably −85° C. or lower, more preferably −90° C. to −100° C. By setting the glass transition temperature Tg in this way, heat generation can be effectively reduced. When the glass transition temperature Tg exceeds −80° C., the effect of reducing heat generation cannot be sufficiently obtained. The glass transition temperature Tg of natural rubber is not particularly limited, but can be set to, for example, −70° C. to −80° C.
本発明で使用する末端変性ブタジエンゴムは、ビニル含有量が好ましくは０．１質量％～２０質量％、より好ましくは０．１質量％～１５質量％である。末端変性ブタジエンゴムのビニル含有量が０．１質量％未満であると、カーボンブラックとの親和性が不足し発熱を充分に低減することが難しくなる。末端変性ブタジエンゴムのビニル含有量が２０質量％を超えると、ゴム組成物のガラス転移温度Ｔｇが上昇し、転がり抵抗および耐摩耗性を十分に改良することができない。尚、末端変性ブタジエンゴムのビニル単位含有量は赤外分光分析（ハンプトン法）により測定するものとする。末端変性ブタジエンゴムにおけるビニル単位含有量の増減は、触媒等、通常の方法で適宜調製することができる。
The terminal-modified butadiene rubber used in the present invention has a vinyl content of preferably 0.1% by mass to 20% by mass, more preferably 0.1% by mass to 15% by mass. When the vinyl content of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is less than 0.1% by mass, the affinity with carbon black is insufficient and it becomes difficult to sufficiently reduce heat generation. When the vinyl content of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber exceeds 20% by mass, the glass transition temperature Tg of the rubber composition rises, and rolling resistance and abrasion resistance cannot be sufficiently improved. The vinyl unit content of the terminal-modified butadiene rubber is to be measured by infrared spectroscopic analysis (Hampton method). The increase/decrease in the vinyl unit content in the terminal-modified butadiene rubber can be appropriately adjusted by a usual method such as a catalyst.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、天然ゴム、末端変性ブタジエンゴム以外の他のジエン系ゴムを含有してもよい。他のジエン系ゴムとしては、例えば、末端変性していないブタジエンゴム、スチレンブタジエンゴム、イソプレンゴム、アクリロニトリル‐ブタジエンゴム等が挙げられる。これらジエン系ゴムは、単独又は任意のブレンドとして使用することができる。
The tire rubber composition of the present invention may contain a diene rubber other than natural rubber and terminal-modified butadiene rubber. Other diene rubbers include, for example, butadiene rubber without terminal modification, styrene butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and the like. These diene rubbers can be used alone or as an arbitrary blend.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、充填剤としてカーボンブラックが必ず配合される。カーボンブラックを配合することでゴム組成物の強度を高めることができる。特に、本発明で使用するカーボンブラックは、窒素吸着比表面積Ｎ2 ＳＡが７０ｍ2 ／ｇ以下、好ましくは３５ｍ2 ／ｇ～６０ｍ2 ／ｇ、より好ましくは３５ｍ2 ／ｇ～５０ｍ2 ／ｇである。このように粒径が大きいカーボンブラックを上述の変性ブタジエンゴムと組み合わせて配合することで、発熱性を低く維持しながら、ゴム硬度を効果的に高めることができる。カーボンブラックの窒素吸着比表面積Ｎ2 ＳＡが７０ｍ2 ／ｇを超えると発熱性が悪化する。尚、本発明において、カーボンブラックの窒素吸着比表面積Ｎ2 ＳＡは、ＪＩＳ６２１７‐２に準拠して測定するものとする。

By blending carbon black having such a large particle diameter in combination with the above-mentioned modified butadiene rubber, it is possible to effectively increase the rubber hardness while keeping the heat generation property low. When the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area N 2 SA of carbon black exceeds 70 m 2 /g, the exothermic property deteriorates. In the present invention, the nitrogen adsorption specific surface area N 2 SA of carbon black is measured according to JIS 6217-2.

The blending amount of carbon black is 50 parts by mass or more, preferably 55 parts by mass to 65 parts by mass, and more preferably 57 parts by mass to 60 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the above rubber component. If the blending amount of the filler is less than 50 parts by mass, the hardness will decrease.
本発明のゴム組成物は、カーボンブラック以外の他の無機充填剤を配合することができる。他の無機充填剤としては、例えばシリカ、クレー、タルク、炭酸カルシウム、マイカ、水酸化アルミニウム等を例示することができる。
The rubber composition of the present invention may contain an inorganic filler other than carbon black. Examples of other inorganic fillers include silica, clay, talc, calcium carbonate, mica, aluminum hydroxide and the like.
これら他の無機充填剤のなかでも、特にシリカを併用する場合、カーボンブラックに対するシリカの重量比率を好ましくは０．１～０．５、より好ましくは０．１５～０．３になるように配合するとよい。この重量比率が上記範囲から外れると、発熱性を低く維持しながらゴム硬度を高める効果が得られない。特に、シリカの重量比率が過多であると発熱性が悪化する虞がある。
Among these other inorganic fillers, when silica is used in combination, the weight ratio of silica to carbon black is preferably 0.1 to 0.5, more preferably 0.15 to 0.3. Good to do. If the weight ratio is out of the above range, the effect of increasing the rubber hardness while maintaining the low exothermicity cannot be obtained. In particular, if the weight ratio of silica is too large, the exothermicity may deteriorate.
充填剤としてシリカを併用する場合、充填材の総配合量は好ましくは７０質量部以下、より好ましくは５５質量部～６０質量部にするとよい。充填材の総配合量が７５質量部を超えると発熱性が悪化する虞がある。尚、上述の配合量と重量比率との関係から、シリカを併用する場合のシリカの配合量は、ジエン系ゴム１００質量部に対して好ましくは５質量部～２０質量部、より好ましくは５質量部～１０質量部である。
When silica is also used as a filler, the total amount of the fillers is preferably 70 parts by mass or less, more preferably 55 parts by mass to 60 parts by mass. If the total amount of the fillers is more than 75 parts by mass, heat generation may be deteriorated. From the relationship between the above blending amount and the weight ratio, when silica is used in combination, the blending amount of silica is preferably 5 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. Parts to 10 parts by mass.
充填剤としてシリカを併用する場合、シリカのＣＴＡＢ吸着比表面積は好ましくは１００ｍ2 ／ｇ～２５０ｍ2 ／ｇ、より好ましくは１３５ｍ2 ／ｇ～２１０ｍ2 ／ｇであるとよい。シリカのＣＴＡＢ吸着比表面積が１００ｍ2 ／ｇ未満であるとゴム強度が低下する。シリカのＣＴＡＢ吸着比表面積が２５０ｍ2 ／ｇを超えると発熱性が悪化する。尚、本発明において、シリカのＣＴＡＢ吸着比表面積は、ＩＳＯ ５７９４に準拠して測定するものとする。
When silica is also used as a filler, the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of silica is preferably 100 m 2 /g to 250 m 2 /g, more preferably 135 m 2 /g to 210 m 2 /g. If the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of silica is less than 100 m 2 /g, the rubber strength will decrease. When the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of silica exceeds 250 m 2 /g, the heat generation property deteriorates. In the present invention, the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of silica shall be measured in accordance with ISO 5794.
本発明では、アミン系老化防止剤および／またはワックスを配合することが好ましい。これらを配合することで、耐クラック性や加工性を向上することができる。アミン系老化防止剤の配合量は、ゴム成分１００質量部に対して好ましくは１．０質量部～４．０質量部、より好ましくは１．５質量部～３．５質量部である。ワックスの配合量は、ゴム成分１００質量部に対して好ましくは０質量部超２．０質量部以下、より好ましくは０．１質量部以上２．０質量部以下アミン系老化防止剤とワックスとは、それぞれ単独で配合してもよく、併用してもよい。アミン系老化防止剤の配合量が１．０質量部未満であると、耐クラック性や加工性を向上する効果が見込めなくなり、特に耐クラック性が低下する。アミン系老化防止剤の配合量が４．０質量部を超えると加工性が低下する。ワックスの配合量が２．０質量部を超えると加工性が低下する。
In the present invention, it is preferable to add an amine anti-aging agent and/or wax. By compounding these, crack resistance and workability can be improved. The compounding amount of the amine anti-aging agent is preferably 1.0 part by mass to 4.0 parts by mass, and more preferably 1.5 parts by mass to 3.5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component. The blending amount of the wax is preferably more than 0 parts by mass and 2.0 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more and 2.0 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the rubber component, and an amine-based antioxidant and a wax.

If the amount of the amine-based antioxidant is less than 1.0 part by mass, the effect of improving the crack resistance and workability cannot be expected, and especially the crack resistance is lowered. If the compounding amount of the amine anti-aging agent exceeds 4.0 parts by mass, the workability is deteriorated. If the amount of the wax compounded exceeds 2.0 parts by mass, the processability will decrease.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物には、上記以外の他の配合剤を添加することができる。他の配合剤としては、カーボンブラックおよびシリカ以外の他の補強性充填剤、加硫又は架橋剤、加硫促進剤、アミン系以外の老化防止剤、液状ポリマー、熱硬化性樹脂、熱可塑性樹脂など、一般的に空気入りタイヤに使用される各種配合剤を例示することができる。これら配合剤の配合量は本発明の目的に反しない限り、従来の一般的な配合量にすることができる。また混練機としは、通常のゴム用混練機械、例えば、バンバリーミキサー、ニーダー、ロール等を使用することができる。
Other compounding agents than the above may be added to the rubber composition for tires of the present invention. Other compounding agents include reinforcing fillers other than carbon black and silica, vulcanization or crosslinking agents, vulcanization accelerators, antioxidants other than amines, liquid polymers, thermosetting resins, and thermoplastic resins. Various compounding agents generally used for pneumatic tires can be exemplified. The compounding amount of these compounding agents may be a conventional general compounding amount as long as the object of the present invention is not violated. As the kneading machine, a usual kneading machine for rubber, for example, Banbury mixer, kneader, roll or the like can be used.
このような配合からなる本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物の硬度は６５以上、好ましくは６５～７５、より好ましくは６５～７０である。また、本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物の４０℃における反発弾性率は８０％以上、好ましくは８０％～８５％、より好ましくは８２％～８５％である。本発明のゴム組成物はこのような物性を有するため、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を向上することができる。硬度が６５未満であると、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性が悪化する。反発弾性率が８０％未満であると、発熱が悪化し転がり抵抗を低減することができない。尚、これら硬度や反発弾性率は上述の配合のみで決定されるものではなく、例えば混練条件や混練方法によっても調整可能な物性である。
The hardness of the rubber composition for a tire of the present invention having such a composition is 65 or more, preferably 65 to 75, more preferably 65 to 70. The impact resilience at 40° C. of the rubber composition for a tire of the present invention is 80% or more, preferably 80% to 85%, more preferably 82% to 85%. Since the rubber composition of the present invention has such physical properties, it is possible to improve rolling stability and durability of the tire while reducing rolling resistance. When the hardness is less than 65, the steering stability when used as a tire is deteriorated. When the impact resilience is less than 80%, heat generation is deteriorated and the rolling resistance cannot be reduced. The hardness and the impact resilience are not determined only by the above-mentioned composition, but are physical properties that can be adjusted by the kneading conditions and the kneading method.
本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、上述の配合や物性により、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を向上することができる。具体的には、ゴム成分として天然ゴムに加えて末端変性ブタジエンゴムを併用し、且つ、充填材として粒径の大きいカーボンブラックを配合し、粒径の大きいカーボンブラックと末端変性ブタジエンゴムとを組み合わせて用いており、更に、ゴム組成物の硬度や反発弾性率を上記のように充分に高めているので、転がり抵抗を低減しながら、タイヤにした時の操縦安定性や耐久性を向上することができ、これら性能をバランスよく改善することができる。そのため、本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物は、空気入りタイヤのアンダートレッド部に用いることが好ましく、本発明のタイヤ用ゴム組成物をアンダートレッド部に用いた空気入りタイヤは、操縦安定性や耐久性を良好に維持しながら、燃費性能を向上することができる。
The rubber composition for a tire of the present invention can improve rolling stability and durability when being made into a tire while reducing rolling resistance due to the above-mentioned composition and physical properties. Specifically, in addition to natural rubber as a rubber component, end-modified butadiene rubber is used in combination, and carbon black having a large particle size is blended as a filler, and carbon black having a large particle size and terminal-modified butadiene rubber are combined. In addition, since the hardness and impact resilience of the rubber composition are sufficiently increased as described above, it is possible to improve the steering stability and durability of the tire while reducing rolling resistance. Therefore, these performances can be improved in a well-balanced manner. Therefore, the rubber composition for a tire of the present invention is preferably used in the undertread portion of a pneumatic tire, and the pneumatic tire using the rubber composition for a tire of the present invention in the undertread portion has steering stability and durability. Fuel economy performance can be improved while maintaining good performance.

変性ＢＲ２の合成方法
攪拌機付きオートクレーブに、窒素雰囲気下、シクロヘキサン５６７０ｇ、１，３‐ブタジエン７００ｇおよび、テトラメチルエチレンジアミン０．１７ｍｍｏｌを仕込んだ後、シクロヘキサンと１，３‐ブタジエンとに含まれる重合を阻害する不純物の中和に必要な量のｎ‐ブチルリチウムを添加し、更に、重合反応に用いる分のｎ－ブチルリチウムを８．３３ｍｍｏｌ加えて、５０℃で重合を開始した。重合を開始してから２０分経過後に、１，３‐ブタジエン３００ｇを３０分間かけて連続的に添加した。重合反応中の最高温度は８０℃であった。連続添加終了後、更に１５分間重合反応を継続し、重合転化率が９５％から１００％の範囲になったことを確認してから、少量の重合溶液をサンプリングした。サンプリングした少量の重合溶液は、過剰のメタノールを添加して反応停止した後、風乾して、重合体を取得し、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー（ＧＰＣ）分析の試料とした。その試料を用いて、重合体（活性末端を有する共役ジエン系重合体鎖に該当）のピークトップ分子量および分子量分布を測定したところ、それぞれ、「２３万」および「１．０４」であった。 Method for synthesizing modified BR2 After charging cyclohexane 5670 g, 1,3-butadiene 700 g and tetramethylethylenediamine 0.17 mmol in a nitrogen atmosphere in an autoclave with a stirrer, the polymerization contained in cyclohexane and 1,3-butadiene is inhibited. The amount of n-butyllithium necessary for neutralizing the impurities was added, and further, 8.33 mmol of n-butyllithium for the polymerization reaction was added, and the polymerization was started at 50°C. After 20 minutes from the start of the polymerization, 300 g of 1,3-butadiene was continuously added over 30 minutes. The maximum temperature during the polymerization reaction was 80°C. After the continuous addition was completed, the polymerization reaction was continued for another 15 minutes, and after confirming that the polymerization conversion rate was in the range of 95% to 100%, a small amount of the polymerization solution was sampled. A small amount of the sampled polymerization solution was quenched by adding excess methanol and then air-dried to obtain a polymer, which was used as a sample for gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis. Using the sample, the peak top molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution of the polymer (corresponding to a conjugated diene-based polymer chain having an active end) were measured and found to be "230,000" and "1.04", respectively.

Using the sample, the peak top molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution of the polymer (corresponding to a conjugated diene-based polymer chain having an active end) were measured and found to be "230,000" and "1.04", respectively.
前述の少量の重合溶液をサンプリングした直後、重合溶液に、１，６‐ビス（トリクロロシリル）ヘキサン０．２８８ｍｍｏｌ（重合に使用したｎ‐ブチルリチウムの０．０３４５倍モルに相当）を４０重量％シクロヘキサン溶液の状態で添加し、３０分間反応させた。更に、その後、ポリオルガノシロキサンＡ０．０３８２ｍｍｏｌ（重合に使用したｎ‐ブチルリチウムの０．００４５９倍モルに相当）を２０重量％キシレン溶液の状態で添加し、３０分間反応させた。その後、重合停止剤として、使用したｎ‐ブチルリチウムの２倍モルに相当する量のメタノールを添加した。これにより、変性ブタジエンゴムを含有する溶液を得た。この溶液に、ゴム成分１００部あたり、老化防止剤として２，４‐ビス（ｎ‐オクチルチオメチル）‐６‐メチルフェノール０．２部を添加した後、スチームストリッピングにより溶媒を除去し、６０℃で２４時間真空乾燥して、固形状の変性ブタジエンゴム（変性ＢＲ２）を得た。この変性ブタジエンゴム（変性ＢＲ２）について、重量平均分子量、分子量分布、カップリング率、ビニル結合含有量、および、ムーニー粘度を測定したところ、それぞれ、「５１万」、「１．４６」、「２８％」、「１１質量％」および「４６」であった。
Immediately after sampling a small amount of the above-mentioned polymerization solution, 40% by weight of 0.288 mmol of 1,6-bis(trichlorosilyl)hexane (corresponding to 0.0345 times mol of n-butyllithium used for the polymerization) was added to the polymerization solution. It was added in the state of a cyclohexane solution and reacted for 30 minutes. Further, after that, 0.0382 mmol of polyorganosiloxane A (corresponding to 0.00459 times mol of n-butyllithium used for the polymerization) was added in the state of a 20 wt% xylene solution and reacted for 30 minutes. Then, as a polymerization terminator, methanol was added in an amount corresponding to twice the mol of n-butyllithium used. As a result, a solution containing the modified butadiene rubber was obtained. To this solution, after adding 0.2 parts of 2,4-bis(n-octylthiomethyl)-6-methylphenol as an antioxidant per 100 parts of rubber component, the solvent was removed by steam stripping, It was vacuum dried at 24° C. for 24 hours to obtain a solid modified butadiene rubber (modified BR2). The weight average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, coupling rate, vinyl bond content, and Mooney viscosity of this modified butadiene rubber (modified BR2) were measured to be "510,000", "1.46", and "28", respectively. %", "11 mass%" and "46".
