【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は、空気入りタイヤの転がり抵抗を増大させることなく、ウェットグリップを向上させかつ加工性を改良するゴム組成物を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に従えば、(i)ジエン系ゴム、(ii)シリカ充填剤並びに(iii)α−ピネン、β−ピネン及びジペンテンから選ばれた少なくとも1種のテルペンとフェノールとの共重合体からなる軟化点が60〜150℃の樹脂を含むゴム組成物が提供される。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明者らは、前記成分(iii)の特定のテルペン−フェノール共重合体樹脂をシリカを含むジエン系ゴムに配合することにより、破断特性の向上(引張り強度及び伸びの増大)、tan−δバランスの向上(高温側が不変のままで低温側が上昇)、耐摩耗性の向上及びムーニー粘度の低下が得られることを見出した。
【0007】
本発明において成分(i)として使用するジエン系ゴムは、従来よりタイヤ用として使用されている任意のジエン系ゴム、例えば天然ゴム(NR)、ポリイソプレンゴム(IR)、各種スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(SBR)、各種ポリブタジエンゴム(BR)、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエン共重合体ゴムなどをあげることができ、これら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。
【0008】
本発明において成分(ii)として使用するシリカ充填剤は従来から、空気入りタイヤ用などのゴム組成物に配合されている任意のシリカとすることができ、特に制限はないが、例えば、乾式法ホワイトカーボン、湿式法ホワイトカーボン、コロイダルシリカ、及び沈降シリカなどが挙げられる。これらの中でも、含水ケイ酸を主成分とする湿式法ホワイトカーボンが特に好ましい。これらのシリカは、それぞれ単独で、あるいは2種以上を組みわ合せて用いることができる。
シリカの比表面積は、特に制限はされないが、窒素吸着比表面積(BET法)で、通常50〜400m /g、好ましくは100〜250m /gの範囲のものが好適である。

【発明の効果】
表Iの結果から明きらかなように、本発明に従って特定のテルペン−フェノール共重合体樹脂を配合したゴム組成物は未配合のゴム組成物に比べ転がり抵抗に寄与の高い高温側のtanδをあげることなく、ウェットグリップへの寄与の高い低温側のtanδをさらにあげることができる。従って、本発明に係るゴム組成物はタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物として好適に使用することができる。加えて本発明によれば、未加硫時のムーニー粘度を低下させることができ、加工性の向上も図ることができる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a silica-containing rubber composition, and more particularly to a rubber composition that improves wet grip and improves processability without increasing the rolling resistance of a pneumatic tire.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Although it is known to improve by adding silica as a reinforcing filler in order to achieve both the low fuel consumption and the wet grip of a pneumatic tire, further improvement in characteristics is desired. Further, silica-containing rubber has a problem that it has a high viscosity when unvulcanized and is difficult to process, and improvement of this is also desired. For example, Patent Document 1 is cited as a document describing the prior art.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-1111044
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition that improves wet grip and improves processability without increasing the rolling resistance of a pneumatic tire.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, it comprises (i) a diene rubber, (ii) a silica filler, and (iii) a copolymer of at least one terpene and phenol selected from α-pinene, β-pinene and dipentene. A rubber composition containing a resin having a softening point of 60 to 150 ° C is provided.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The inventors of the present invention blended the specific terpene-phenol copolymer resin of component (iii) with a diene rubber containing silica to improve the breaking properties (increased tensile strength and elongation), tan-δ. It was found that improved balance (high temperature side remained unchanged and low temperature side increased), improved wear resistance and reduced Mooney viscosity were obtained.
[0007]
The diene rubber used as component (i) in the present invention may be any diene rubber conventionally used for tires, such as natural rubber (NR), polyisoprene rubber (IR), and various styrene-butadiene copolymers. Examples thereof include a combined rubber (SBR), various polybutadiene rubbers (BR), an acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer rubber, and the like, and these can be used alone or as an arbitrary blend.
[0008]
The silica filler used as the component (ii) in the present invention can be any silica conventionally blended in rubber compositions for pneumatic tires, and is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include white carbon, wet process white carbon, colloidal silica, and precipitated silica. Among these, wet method white carbon mainly containing hydrous silicic acid is particularly preferable. These silicas can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The specific surface area of silica is not particularly limited, a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (BET method) is usually 50 to 400 m 2 / g, preferably is suitable in the range of 100 to 250 m 2 / g.
[0009]
The specific terpene-phenol copolymer resin used as component (iii) in the present invention includes α-pinene, β-pinene and / or dipentene, and phenols (for example, phenol, cresol, xylenol, naphthol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, etc.) A resin having a softening point (measured according to JIS K6220-1) of 60 to 150 ° C, preferably 65 to 140 ° C, composed of a terpene-phenol copolymer with one or more). If the softening point is too low, it is not preferable because adhesion during mixing processing occurs and handling becomes complicated. On the other hand, if the softening point is too high, it cannot be sufficiently dispersed at the time of mixing with other components, and vulcanized physical properties are deteriorated.
The terpene-phenol copolymer is preferably blended in an amount of 1 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber. If the blending amount is too small, it is difficult to obtain the intended improvement effect. Conversely, if the blending amount is too large, the physical properties deteriorate, for example, the modulus is lowered.
[0010]
The terpene-phenol copolymer can be produced from the above-mentioned specific terpene and phenols by a general polymerization method such as thermal polymerization or catalytic polymerization. Such terpene-phenol copolymers are commercially available products such as YS Polystar T80 and YS Polystar T130 from Yashara Chemical Co., Ltd., and such commercially available products can be used in the present invention.
[0011]
In addition to the above-mentioned essential components, the rubber composition according to the present invention includes a reinforcing agent (filler) such as carbon black, a silane coupling agent, a vulcanization or crosslinking agent, a vulcanization or crosslinking accelerator, various oils, and aging. Various additives that are generally blended for tires such as inhibitors and plasticizers, and other general rubbers can be blended, and these blends are kneaded and vulcanized by a general method to form a composition. Can be used for vulcanization or crosslinking. As long as the amount of these additives is not contrary to the object of the present invention, the conventional general amounts can be used.
[0012]
【Example】
EXAMPLES Hereinafter, although an Example demonstrates this invention further, it cannot be overemphasized that the scope of the present invention is not limited to these Examples.
[0013]
Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-5
In the composition shown in Table I, the components other than the vulcanization accelerator and sulfur were kneaded with a 1.7 liter closed mixer for 5 minutes and released when the temperature reached 165 ± 5 ° C. to obtain a master batch. A vulcanization accelerator and sulfur were kneaded with this master batch with an open roll to obtain a rubber composition. The Mooney viscosity (ML 1 + 4 ) of this rubber composition was measured at a temperature of 100 ° C. according to JIS K6300. The results are shown in Table I.
[0014]
Next, the obtained rubber composition was vulcanized in a 15 × 15 × 0.2 cm mold at 160 ° C. for 30 minutes to prepare a vulcanized rubber sheet. The tensile properties were 300% modulus (Mod) and tensile strength. (TB) and elongation at break (EB) were measured in accordance with JIS K6251 in terms of viscoelasticity (tan δ) and a series of lamborn wear by the following methods. The results are shown in Table I.
[0015]
Viscoelasticity (tan δ): Each temperature of 0 ° C., 20 ° C. and 60 ° C. under conditions of initial elongation of 10%, distortion rate of ± 2%, frequency of 20 Hz using an extension type viscoelasticity measuring device (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd.) Measured with
A series of Lambourn wear: Measured using a Lambourn wear tester (Iwamoto Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) at a load of 50 N, a slip rate of 25%, a time of 9 minutes, and room temperature conditions. Displayed. The higher this value, the better the wear resistance.

【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the results of Table I, the rubber composition containing the specific terpene-phenol copolymer resin according to the present invention increases the tan δ on the high temperature side, which contributes more to rolling resistance than the uncompounded rubber composition. Therefore, tan δ on the low temperature side, which has a high contribution to the wet grip, can be further increased. Therefore, the rubber composition according to the present invention can be suitably used as a tire tread rubber composition. In addition, according to the present invention, the Mooney viscosity at the time of unvulcanization can be reduced, and the workability can be improved.
