  • Shore A Hardness of the rubber vulcanizates are measured in accordance with ASTM D 2240.
  • Visco elastic properties of the Rubber Vulcanizates are measured on a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA Metravib +1000) with a 0.3% dynamic strain, 0.6% static strain%, temperature -40 deg C to +80 deg C, and 10Hz frequency as per ASTM D5992.
  • Tan delta at 25 deg C is commonly used as predictor for dry grip of the rubber vulcanizate. Also, higher the tan delta value at 25 deg C, better the dry grip. M5: Gas permeability of the Rubber Vulcanizate

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un nanocomposite élastomère pour bande de roulement de pneu comprenant des nanotubes de carbone revêtus de polymère (CNT) sous forme de billes en tant que nanocharge qui offre une stabilité thermique supérieure, un module élevé et une faible perméabilité aux gaz. Le CNT revêtu de polymère fournit une excellente dispersion des charges dans le composé de caoutchouc. La présente invention concerne des nanocomposites à haute performance avec un remplacement partiel de charge de noir de carbone par une petite dose de CNT revêtu de polymère dans un système chargé de noir de carbone. L'invention utilise de 1,0 à 20,0 phr de NTC d'un diamètre allant jusqu'à 1 à 30 nm ; d'une longueur de 50 nanomètres à 500 micromètres.
