摘要:
A block copolymer (1) comprising a block of a conjugated diene polymer and a block of a random copolymer of a conjugated diene with an aromatic vinyl, (2) having a weight ratio of the polymer block A to the copolymer B of (5 : 95) to (95 : 5), (3) having a content of the bound aromatic vinyl in the copolymer block B of 1 to 50 % by weight, (4) having a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 100,000 to 5,000,000, and (5) having at least two transition points present in the range of from -150 to +150 °C as measured with a differential scanning calorimeter, a process for preparing the same, a rubber composition comprising the same, and a pneumatic tire made therefrom.
摘要:
An oil-extended rubber comprising 100 parts by weight of a rubber ingredient comprising a conjugated diene rubber in which the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mn), (Mw/Mn), is 1.2 to 2.2 and the conjugated diene monomer units have a vinyl bond unit content of 20% or higher and 5 to 100 parts by weight of a process oil having a total acid value of 1.0 mg-KOH/g or higher, a pour point of 50°C or lower, and an aromatic-carbon content of 20% or higher; and a rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of the rubber ingredient, 5 to 100 parts by weight of the process oil, and 10 to 200 parts by weight of a reinforcement. This rubber composition gives a crosslinked object which is excellent in tensile strength and wearing resistance, is reduced in heat buildup, and is useful as an automotive tire material, etc.
