十分に乾燥した5Lオートクレーブを窒素置換し、ヘキサン1150g及びn-ブチルリチウム(17質量%ヘキサン溶液)154gを仕込み、50℃に昇温した後、撹拌条件下、N,N,N',N'-テトラメチルエチレンジアミン10gを添加した後、重合温度を50℃となるように制御しながらブタジエン1250gを逐次添加して重合した。その後メタノールを添加して重合反応を停止させ、重合体溶液を得た。得られた重合体溶液に水を添加して撹拌し、水で重合体溶液を洗浄した。撹拌を終了し、重合体溶液相と水相とが分離していることを確認した後、水を分離した。洗浄終了後の重合体溶液を70℃で24時間真空乾燥することにより、ブタジエン単独重合体からなる未変性液状ジエン系重合体(B'-11)を得た。
なお、製造例で得られた変性液状ジエン系重合体等の各物性の測定方法及び算出方法は以下の通りである。
変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)のMwは、GPC(ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー)により標準ポリスチレン換算分子量で求めた。測定装置及び条件は、以下の通りである。
・装置 :東ソー株式会社製GPC装置「HLC-8320GPC」
・分離カラム :東ソー株式会社製「TSKgelSuperHZ4000×2」
・溶離液 :テトラヒドロフラン
・溶離液流量 :0.35mL/分
・サンプル濃度:5mg/10mL
・カラム温度 :40℃
変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)、重合体ブロック(b'1)または(b"1)、重合体ブロック(b'2)または(b"2)のビニル含量を、日本電子株式会社製1H-NMR(500MHz)を使用し、サンプル/重クロロホルム=50mg/1mLの濃度、積算回数32回で測定した。得られたスペクトルの1,2-結合、3,4-結合で結合をしている共役ジエン単位由来のピークと、1,4-結合で結合をしている共役ジエン単位に由来するピークとの面積比から、ビニル含量を算出した。
変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)10mgをアルミパンに採取し、示差走査熱量測定(DSC)により10℃/分の昇温速度条件においてサーモグラムを測定し、DDSCのピークトップの値をガラス転移温度とした。
変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)の38℃における溶融粘度をブルックフィールド型粘度計(BROOKFIELD ENGINEERING LABS.INC.製)により測定した。
変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)一分子当たりの平均官能基数は、変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)の官能基の当量(g/eq)とスチレン換算の数平均分子量Mnより求めることができる。
(一分子当たりの平均官能基数)=[(数平均分子量Mn)/(スチレン単位の分子量)×(共役ジエン及び必要に応じて含まれる共役ジエン以外の他の単量体単位の平均分子量)]/(官能基の当量)
未変性液状ジエン系ブロック共重合体(B'1)または(B'2)中の重合体ブロック(b'1)または(b"1)が占める長さの割合は、ブロック共重合体の全鎖長と、ブロック共重合体中の重合体ブロックの占める長さから求めることができる。ブロック共重合体中の重合体ブロックの占める長さは、それぞれのブロック共重合体に含まれる各単量体単位の数を1H-NMR測定より算出し、ブロック共重合体の主鎖における炭素-炭素単結合の結合長を150pm、炭素-炭素二重結合の結合長を135pm、結合角を120°と仮定し計算することで、求めることができる。また、ブロック共重合体の全鎖長は上記で得られるそれぞれのブロック共重合体に含まれる各単量体単位の数の合計から求めることができる。
表3~6に記載した配合割合(質量部)にしたがって、固形ゴム(A)、変性液状ジエン系重合体(B)、フィラー(C)、TDAE、シランカップリング剤、亜鉛華、ステアリン酸、ワックス、及び老化防止剤を、それぞれ密閉式バンバリーミキサーに投入して開始温度60℃、樹脂温度が150℃となるように6分間混練した後、ミキサー外に取り出して室温まで冷却した。次いで、この混合物を再度バンバリーミキサーに入れ、加硫剤及び加硫促進剤を加えて開始温度50℃、到達温度100℃となるように75秒混練することでゴム組成物を得た。
