    Abstract: Provided are a rubber composition in which microfibrillated plant fibers are sufficiently uniformly dispersed to improve tire performance requirements in a balanced manner, and a pneumatic tire formed from the rubber composition. The present invention relates to a rubber composition formed from a masterbatch containing a rubber latex and microfibrillated plant fibers, the masterbatch being obtained by stirring the microfibrillated plant fibers in a solvent with a circulation type or continuous homogenizer and mixing the resulting microfibrillated plant fiber solution with the rubber latex and a cationic polymer, the microfibrillated plant fibers having a mean fiber length of 10 to 150 μm, the microfibrillated plant fiber solution containing 0.1 to 2.0% by mass of the microfibrillated plant fibers, and the amount of the cationic polymer being 0.01 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component of the rubber latex.

    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a method for producing a masterbatch with improved rubber physical properties such as tensile strength at break, rigidity, and fuel economy at high productivity by enhancing the amount of fillers incorporated into rubber and the dispersibility of fillers in rubber, as well as related products. The present invention relates to a method for producing a masterbatch, including: step (1) of mixing a rubber latex having a zeta potential of −100 to −20 mV with a filler dispersion having a zeta potential of −120 to −10 mV to prepare a latex compound; step (2) of adjusting the zeta potential of the latex compound obtained in step (1) to −30 to 0 mV; and step (3) of solidifying the coagulum obtained in step (2) with an organic solvent.
