摘要:
This invention describes the use of liquid block isoprene-butadiene copolymers of approximately 25,000 to 100,000 .sub.v molecular weight, and which comprises 10 to 90% by weight isoprene and 90 to 10% by weight butadiene. This material is added to a rubber compound that contains natural rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber, or blends thereof, the sum of which is equal to or greater than 50 phr of the entire rubber content formulation. The liquid block copolymer is used at low levels, typically 1.5 phr to 15 phr. The invention also includes tires with at least one component composed of such rubber composition such as a tire tread.

This invention relates to a pneumatic rubber tire having a rubber sidewall composition of a lug and groove configuration which is designed to be ground contacting. Such sidewall configuration is of a rubber composition comprised of a blend of natural rubber and cis 1,4-polybutadiene rubber which contains specified carbon black reinforcement and silica together with a coupling agent. The tire tread rubber composition differs from the rubber composition of said sidewall lug and groove configuration by being exclusive of silica and coupling agent and carbon black reinforcement exclusive of said specified carbon black.

The invention relates to preparation of silica-rich rubber compositions by a sequence of sequential mixing steps conducted in internal rubber mixer(s) with individual maximum temperature limitations. The mixing steps are comprised of at least two non-productive mixing steps followed by a productive mixing step. The non-productive mixing steps themselves are comprised of at least one preliminary non-productive mixing step followed by a final non-productive mixing step. Elastomer, silica and coupling agent are added in at least one of said preliminary non-productive mixing steps to the exclusion of said final non-productive mixing step and said productive mixing step. Sulfur and sulfur vulcanization accelerator(s) are added in said productive mixing step to the exclusion of said non-productive mixing steps. The preliminary non-productive mixing step(s) are individually conducted to a maximum mixing temperature in a range of from about 150° C. to about 180° followed by the final non-productive mixing step to a reduced maximum mixing temperature in a range of from about 90° C. to about 130° C. The maximum mixing temperature of said final non-productive mixing step is at least 20° C. lower than the maximum temperature for said preliminary non-productive mixing stage(s). The productive mixing step is conducted to a maximum temperature in a range of from about 90° C. to about 120° C. The rubber composition is removed from its respective internal rubber mixer and cooled to below 40° C. between said mixing steps. The invention is further intended to relate to a rubber composition prepared by such mixing process and to a tire having at least one component comprised of such rubber composition.
摘要:
This invention relates to a pneumatic rubber tire having a rubber sidewall with at least a portion of its outer surface being composed of white rubber devoid of carbon black reinforcement and composed of an elastomer composition prepared as a combination of EPDM, chlorobutyl rubber, diene-based elastomers and liquid EPDM. The liquid EPDM component replaces at least a portion of a traditionally used naphthenic/paraffinic processing oil.
