摘要:
A process for forming a tire component, the process comprising the steps of introducing a vulcanizable polymer, a curative, a first carbon black characterized by an iodine adsorption number, per ASTM D1510, that is greater than 60 g/kg, and a second carbon black characterized by an iodine adsorption number, per ASTM D1510, that is less than 60 g/kg to form a vulcanizable composition, fabricating a tire component from the vulcanizable composition, and curing the tire component.
摘要:
Embodiments relate to a novel catalyst composition comprising a transition metal-containing compound, a PNP compound, an alkylating agent and a fluorine containing compound. Other embodiments relate to a method of polymerizing a diene monomer in the presence of the novel composition to form a diene-containing polymer having greater than 90% cis content.
